Manage Access Control
Access control allows you to control which devices can access the switch over a web
browser for management purposes. By default, access control is disabled. By adding
one or more devices to the Access Control table, access control is enabled and only
devices in the table are allowed to access the switch over a web browser.
Note:
Models GS108Ev3, GS108PEv3, and GS308E do not support access control.
For more information, see the following sections:
• Add Devices to the Access Control Table on page 64
• Remove Devices From the Access Control Table on page 65
Add Devices to the Access Control Table
Be sure that you use a valid subnet mask when you add a device or a range of devices
to the Access Control table.
CAUTION:
Add the IP address and subnet mask for the device from which you are
accessing the switch to the Access Control table before you add any other devices to
the table. Otherwise, you are locked out from the local browser interface of the switch.
To add devices to the Access Control table:

You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
