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.
