Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide

Define IP Access List

Description

Users with IP addresses defined on the access list can manage the switch. If
user names and passwords are set up, the user must also enter a valid user
name and password when accessing the console. If you do not create an
access list, any user with a valid user name and password can manage the
switch. The IP access list provides a second level of security beyond that of
a user name and password.

If you create an access list, the first address you add must be the one from
which you are accessing the switch. Only users with IP addresses defined on
the access list can ping the switch.

The IP access list can contain up to eight IP addresses.

Action: Specifies whether you want to add or delete an IP address. Press
z to toggle between <Add> and <Delete>.

IP address: Type the IP address you want to add or delete from the access
list and then press

E. The IP access list can contain up to eight IP

addresses.

NOTE

The IP access list does not pre-
vent unauthorized users from
accessing switch management
through the serial port.
