Simple Network Management Protocol

Filtering Addresses for SNMP Client Access

The switch allows you to create a list of up to 16 IP addresses or IP address groups that are allowed access to the switch via SNMP management software.

Command Usage

To specify the clients allowed SNMP access, enter an IP address along with a subnet mask to identify a specific host or a range of valid addresses. For example:

-IP address 192.168.1.1 and mask 255.255.255.255 – Specifies a valid IP address of 192.168.1.1 for a single client.

-IP address 192.168.1.1 and mask 255.255.255.0 –

Specifies a valid IP address group from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.254.

IP filtering only restricts management access for clients running SNMP management software such as HP OpenView. It does not affect management access to the switch using the web interface or Telnet.

The default setting is null, which allows all IP groups SNMP access to the switch. If one or more IP addresses are configured, IP filtering is enabled and only addresses listed in this table will have SNMP access.

Command Attributes

IP Filter List – Displays a list of the IP address/subnet mask entries currently configured for SNMP access.

IP address – Specifies a new IP address to add to the IP Filter List.

Subnet Mask – Specifies a single IP address or group of addresses. If the IP is the address of a single management station, set the mask to 255.255.255.255. Otherwise, an IP address group will be specified by any other mask.

Web – Click SNMP, IP Filtering. To add a client, enter the new address, the subnet mask for a node or an address range, and then click “Add IP Filtering Entry.”
