Figure 4-6. IP Security menu.

To configure the IP security feature, proceed as follows:

1.Access the Network Parameters menu as described on the previous page. Note that the Network Parameters menu is not available in user mode.

2.When the Network Parameters menu appears, type 4 and press [Enter] to access the IP Security menu (Figure 4-6).

3.The IP Security menu lists five IP security “masks” along with the selected permit/deny action for each mask.

a)Each security mask prompt is used to define a specific IP address or range of IP addresses. Each mask action prompt is used to define the permit/deny action for the corresponding mask.

b)Masks are listed in order of ascending priority; Mask 1 has the lowest priority, Mask 5 has the highest priority.

c)Masks have a cumulative effect; high-priority masks supersede the effect of lower-priority masks.

d)Each IP address consists of a series of four eight-bit numbers. The number 255 is used as a wild card.

Example 1: Deny access to all hosts except 192.1.1.5:

Security Mask #1: 255.255.255.255 Mask #1 Action: Deny

Security Mask #2: 192.1.1.5 Mask #2 Action: Permit

Since 255 is a wild card, Mask #1 blocks all IP addresses. Mask #2 then specifically grants access to 192.1.1.5 only.
