Establishing Secure Administration {Access Control}

The HSG allows you to block administrator access to interfaces (Telnet, WMI and
FTP) and incorporates a master access control list that checks the source (IP address)
of administrator logins. A login is permitted only to the interfaces that have not been
blocked, and only if a match is made with the master "Source IP" list contained on the
HSG. If a match is not made with the "Source IP list," the login is denied, even if a
correct login name and password are supplied. The access control list for source IPs
supports up to 50 (fifty) entries in the form of a specific IP address or range of IP
addresses.
This procedure allows you to enable the "Access Control" feature and block
administrator access to specific interfaces, and add or remove administrator "Source
IP" addresses.
