Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide
You can create an access control list (ACL) that lists up to five IPv4 hosts and five
IPv6 hosts that are authorized to access the configuration utility of the WAP
device. If this feature is disabled, anyone can access the configuration utility from
any network client by supplying the correct user name and password of the WAP
device.
If the management ACL is enabled, access through the web and SNMP is
restricted to the specified IP hosts.
Verify any IP address that you enter. If you enter an IP address that does not match
your administrative computer, you will lose access to the configuration interface.
We recommend that you give the administrative computer a static IP address, so
the address does not change over time.
To create an access list:
Select Administration > Management Access Control.
Select Enable for the Management ACL Mode.
Enter up to five IPv4 and five IPv6 addresses that will be allowed access.
Verify the IP addresses are correct.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
The WAP device maintains two firmware images. One image is active and the
other is inactive. If the active image fails to load during bootup, the inactive image
is loaded and becomes the active image. You can also swap the active and
inactive images.
When new versions of the firmware become available, you can upgrade the
firmware on your WAP device to take advantage of new features and
enhancements. The WAP device uses a TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS client for firmware
upgrades.
