Configuring management station IP addresses

Management stations are computers on the network that you use to manage the switch. You can use Device Manager to allow a maximum of three management stations access to the switch by entering their IP addresses. If the three configured IP Address contain all zeros ("0"), then any station with any IP address can access the switch to manage and configure it.

If you configure one or more specific IP addresses for access privileges, then only stations with those specified IP addresses are allowed to access the switch to manage or configure it.


Caution! Caution: You can lose access privileges if any of the configured IP addresses do not include your IP address.

To restrict management access to the switch:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Edit > Security.
    2. The Security dialog box opens with the SNMP Community tab displayed.
  2. Select the Management Station IP Addresses tab.
    3. The Management Station IP Addresses tab opens.
  3. Click Insert
    4. The Security, Insert Management Station IP Addresses dialog box opens.
  4. In the TrustHostId field, enter an index number in the rang 1 and 3 that represents the unique identifier of the trusted host.
  5. In the TrustHostIPAddr field, enter the IP address of the trusted host.
  6. Click Insert.
    7. The configure trusted host Id and IP address appear in the
    Security dialog box--Management Station IP Addresses tab.
