Important Considerations

CAUTION: Be careful when you define trusted IP clients. If you specify an incorrect IP address or subnetwork address when you define a trusted IP client, you can affect your own ability to access the system. See the Implementation Guide for your system.

Configure trusted IP clients in this order:

Define the trusted IP clients using system console security

define.

Display the list of configured trusted IP clients using system console security display to verify that you have configured the trusted IP clients correctly.

Enable the system to verify trusted IP clients using system console

security access.

You can configure up to five IP addresses or five subnetwork addresses as trusted IP clients.

An IP address or subnetwork address can be used to access the system only if it is on the trusted IP client list.

Use the subnet mask to allow trusted access to all addresses on a particular subnetwork. Examples: The IP address 158.99.112.219 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 allows trusted access to all addresses on the 158.99.112 subnetwork. The IP address 158.99.112.219 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 allows access only by the single IP address 158.99.112.219.

The trusted IP client information is retained after a system reboot; that is, it is saved in nvData.
