Important Considerations

CAUTION: Be careful when you define trusted IP clients. If you specify an
incorrect IP address or subnetwork address when you define a trusted IP
client, you can affect your own ability to access the system. See the
Implementation Guide for your system.

■

Configure trusted IP clients in this order:

■

Define the trusted IP clients using

system console security

define

.

■

Display the list of configured trusted IP clients using

system

console security display

to verify that you have configured the

trusted IP clients correctly.

■

Enable the system to verify trusted IP clients using

system console

security access

.

■

You can configure up to five IP addresses or five subnetwork addresses
as trusted IP clients.

■

An IP address or subnetwork address can be used to access the system
only if it is on the trusted IP client list.

■

Use the subnet mask to allow trusted access to all addresses on a
particular subnetwork. Examples: The IP address 158.99.112.219
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 allows trusted access to all
addresses on the 158.99.112 subnetwork. The IP address
158.99.112.219 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 allows
access only by the single IP address 158.99.112.219.

■

The trusted IP client information is retained after a system reboot; that
is, it is saved in nvData.
