Chapter 29: Management Access Control List
444 Section VII: Management Security
Enabling or Disabling the Management ACL
This procedure enables and disables the management ACL. When
enabled, only those management stations specified by the access control
entries in the ACL are allowed to manage the switch remotely using the
Telnet application protocol or a web browser. When the feature is
disabled, any remote management workstation can access the switch.
Note
Do not activate the management ACL until you have specified the
access control entries (ACEs). Otherwise, the switch will discard all
remote management packets, making it impossible for you to
remotely manage the unit from a Telnet or web browser
management session. For instructions on how to add ACEs, refer to
“Creating an ACE” on page 446.
To enable or disable the management ACL, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the home page, select Configuration.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 5 on page 38.
2. From the Configuration menu, select the Mgmt. Security option.
The Mgmt. Security page is displayed with the Mgmt. ACL tab selected
by default, as shown in Figure 183.
