Use the Access Management Configuration page to create a list of up to 16

IP addresses or IP address groups that are allowed management access to

the switch through the web interface, or SNMP, or Telnet.

The management interfaces are open to all IP addresses by default. Once

you add an entry to a filter list, access to that interface is restricted to the

specified addresses. If anyone tries to access a management interface on

the switch from an invalid address, the switch will reject the connection.
