Network Management Parameters
The Network Management Parameters menu enables protecting the Unit
from unauthorized access by defining a set of IP addresses from which the
unit can be managed via Telnet, TFTP, SNMP, or ICMP. This excludes
messages generated in the unit, such as Traps or Ping Test frames, which
are not filtered. You can also determine the direction from which
management access is permitted, which means from the wireless media or
the wired Ethernet or both.
The Network Management Parameters menu includes the following
options:
Access to Network Management
The Access to Network Management option defines the port through which
the unit can be managed. The following options are available:
♦ From Wireless Link Only
♦ From Ethernet Only
♦ From Both Ethernet & Wireless Link
The default selection is From Both Ethernet & Wireless Link.
WARNING:
Be careful not to block your access to the unit. For example, if you manage an SU via the
wireless link, setting the Access to Network Management parameter to From Ethernet
Only completely blocks your management access to the unit. In this case, a technician
may be required to change the settings at the user's site.
Network Management Filtering
The Network Management Filtering option enables or disables the IP
address-based management filtering. If management filtering is enabled,
the unit can only be managed by stations with IP addresses matching one
of the entries in the Set Network Management IP Addresses option,
described below, and that are connected to the unit via the defined port(s).
The following options are available:
♦ Disable: No IP address-based filtering is configured.
