Configuring Management Access Control

Management Access Control lets you define the only IP addresses and subnets that can log in to the SMP. When you enable this feature, unauthorized IP addresses are blocked and cannot connect to the SMP Portal.

Note - The localhost address (127.0.0.1) is always allowed and you cannot block it.

2. Click Management Access Control.

3. Click Allow web access (HTTPS) to the SMP from the following IP addresses and subnets.

4. Click New.

   The Management Access Control window opens.

5. From Source Type, select IP Address or Network.

6. Enter the IP address.

   If the Source Type is Network, you must also enter the Subnet Mask.

7. Click Finish.

8. Click Save.

To allow all IP addresses:

1. Click Allow web access (HTTPS) to the SMP from any IP address.

2. Click Save.

To delete an allowed IP address or subnet:
