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 local browser interface of the switch.

Add Devices to the Access Control Table

If you add devices to the he Access Control table, use the mask to allow one IP address or a
range of IP addresses to access the local browser interface of the switch. Consider the

in the Source IP Address field can access the local browser interface.
