Using a Web Proxy Server to Access the Web Browser
Interface
This is NOT recommended. Using a web proxy server between the stations
and the switch poses a security risk. If the station uses a web proxy server to
connect to the switch, any proxy user can access the switch.
If it is necessary to use the switch's web browser interface and your browser
access is through a web proxy server, perform these steps:
1. Enter the web proxy server's MAC address in the port's Authorized
Addresses list.
2. Enter the web proxy server's IP address in the switch's IP Authorized
Managers list.
You must perform both of these steps or the switch only detects the proxy
server's MAC address and IP address instead of your workstation addresses,
and your connection is considered unauthorized.

Building IP Masks

The IP Mask parameter controls how the switch uses an Authorized Manager
IP value to recognize the IP addresses of authorized manager stations on your
network.
Configuring One Station Per Authorized Manager IP
Entry
This is the easiest way to apply a mask. If you have ten or fewer management
and/or operator stations, you can configure them quickly by simply adding the
address of each to the Authorized Manager IP list with 255.255.255.255 for the
corresponding mask. For example, as shown in Figure 13-3 on page 13-7, if
you configure an IP address of 10.28.227.125 with an IP mask of 255.255.255.255,
only a station with an IP address of 10.28.227.125 has management access to
the switch.
