1.
2. Click on [Authorized Addresses].
3. Enter the appropriate parameter settings for the operation you want.
4. Click on [Add], [Replace], or [Delete] to implement the configuration change.

Web Proxy Servers

If you use the web browser interface to access the switch from an authorized
IP manager station, it is highly recommended that you avoid using a web proxy
server in the path between the station and the switch. This is because switch
access through a web proxy server requires that you first add the web proxy
server to the Authorized Manager IP list. This reduces security by opening
switch access to anyone who uses the web proxy server.

How to Eliminate the Web Proxy Server

There are two ways to eliminate a web proxy server from the path between a
station and the switch:
1. Add the IP address or DNS name of the switch to the non-proxy or
Exceptions list in the web browser interface used on the authorized
station.
2. If you don't need proxy server access on the authorized station, disable
the proxy server feature in the station's web browser interface.
IP or MAC authentication can be used without a web proxy server.
