OUTLET MANAGED PDU

5.9.3.1. Adding IP Addresses to the Allow and Deny Lists

To add an IP Address to the Allow or Deny list, and begin configuring the IP Security feature, proceed as follows.

Notes:

•Both the Allow and Deny list can include Linux operators, wild cards, and net/mask pairs.

•In some cases, it is not necessary to enter all four "digits" of the IP Address. For example, if you wish to allow access to all IP addresses that begin with "192," then you would only need to enter "192."

•The IP Security Configuration menu is only available when you have accessed command mode using an account that permits Administrator level commands.

1.Access the IP Security Configuration menu. In the Text Interface, the IP Security menu is accessed via the Network Configuration menu. In the Web Browser Interface, the IP Security Configuration menu is accessed via the Network Configuration flyout menu.

2.Allow List: Enter the IP Address(es) for the clients that you wish to allow. Note that if an IP Address is found in the Allow list, the client will be allowed to connect, and the Outlet Managed PDU will not check the Deny list.

3.Deny List: Enter the IP Address(es) for the clients that you wish to deny. Note that if the client’s IP Address is not found in the Deny List, that client will be allowed to connect.
