Network Security
The CIMC uses IP blocking as network security. IP blocking prevents the connection between a server or
website and certain IP addresses or ranges of addresses. IP blocking effectively bans undesired connections
from those computers to a website, mail server, or other Internet servers.
IP banning is commonly used to protect against denial of service (DoS) attacks. CIMC bans IP addresses by
setting up an IP blocking fail count.
