Important Considerations
CAUTION:Be careful wh en you define trusted IP clients. If you specify an
incorrect IP address or subnetwork address when yo u 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 tru sted IP clients u sing system console security
define.
■Display the list of configured trusted IP clients using system
console security display t o verify that you have configured th e
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 t rusted access to all
addresses on the 158.99.112 subnetwork. The IP address
158.99.112.219 with a subnet mask of 255.25 5.255.255 allows
access only by the single IP address 158.99.112.219.
■The trusted IP client information is retai ned after a system rebo ot; that
is, it is saved in nvData.
