IP Filtering
The IP filtering function keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing the Console Server by specifying rules.
The IP address/mask specifies the host range by entering the base host IP address followed by “/” and the subnet mask (“/” is a required separator between the IP address and the subnet mask). The host IP addresses are filtered based on the rule defined.
The table below provides examples of IP address/mask settings.
Specified host range | Base host IP address | Subnet mask |
|
|
|
Any host | 0.0.0.0 | 0.0.0.0 |
|
|
|
192.168.2.120 | 192.168.2.120 | 255.255.255.255 |
|
|
|
192.168.2.1 ~ 192.168.2.254 | 192.168.2.0 | 255.255.255.0 |
|
|
|
192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.255.254 | 192.168.0.0 | 255.255.0.0 |
|
|
|
192.168.2.1 ~ 192.168.1.126 | 192.168.2.0 | 255.255.255.128 |
|
|
|
192.168.2.129 ~ 192.168.2.254 | 192.168.2.128 | 255.255.255.128 |

The “Port” is a port or port range of the Console Server to which hosts try to access.
Chain Rule
The chain rule determines whether the access from the hosts is allowed or not. It can be one of two values:
•ACCEPT: access allowed
•DROP: access not allowed
