communications by using IP Address and MAC (Media Access Control) Address
filters, encryption and authentication, and network port and application access
control.
• IP Address and MAC Address Filters – IP Address Filter performs a function
similar to many firewalls. It permits or rejects incoming packets from up to 16 IP
addresses or ranges of IP addresses. Also, IP address filters to outbound
connections can be applied. For example, if such functions as Remote Copy
and Universal Send are used, system administrators can block or restrict users
from sending files to specific IP addresses. This helps to minimize the risk of
data being sent out of the company to systems that are not trusted.
MAC Address Filter permits or rejects access for up to 100 MAC addresses. It
is useful for environments that use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) for IP address assignments. If DHCP leases expire and a new IP
address is issued to a certain system, the filter can still identify the system's
MAC address, and permit or reject access to the machine. MAC addresses can
be easily added, edited, or deleted through the Remote UI. MAC Address Filter
takes a higher priority than IP Address Filter, which prevents unknown systems
from attacking the machine.
