Example 3: Allow access only by addresses that begin with 192,

deny access to 192.1.1.5.

Security Mask #1: 255.255.255.255

Mask #1 Action: Deny

Security Mask #2: 192.255.255.255

Mask #2 Action: Permit

Security Mask #3: 192.1.1.5

Mask #3 Action: Deny

Since 255 is a wild card, Mask 1 blocks all IP addresses. Mask 2

then grants access to all addresses that begin with 192. Finally,

Mask 3 specifically blocks access by 192.1.1.5.

Note:

·

Mask #5 has priority over the other four masks. If

Mask #5 is set to deny access by "255.255.255.255"

(all wild cards), you will not be able to access the IPS

Command Mode via network. Access will only be

allowed via a Local PC or external modem connected

to the IPS Console Port.

·

When using the wild card address "255.255.255.255",

make certain that at least one higher priority mask

permits access by your IP address.
