interconnects) are automatically refreshed and updated with the corresponding FQDNs. When the
FQDN setting is disabled, the FQDN links of all the enclosure devices are removed from the Onboard
Administrator and hence are not displayed.

Trusted Hosts
The Trusted Hosts subcategory is used to restrict access to the Onboard Administrator to all hosts except those
listed. When enabled, this protocol only allows access to the Onboard Administrator to listed hosts.
This subcategory contains one dialog box, one entry field, and one display box, that if enabled, is used to
list trusted IP addresses.
The Enable IP address access restriction check box is not selected by default. Selecting this check box allows
only those IP addresses listed as Trusted Addresses to connect to the Onboard Administrator.
CAUTION:
Enabling IP address access restriction without first entering the user's IP address in the
Trusted Addresses list will disconnect the user from the Onboard Administrator.
