Setup Windows

IP Filter Window

The IP Filter window provides options for controlling access to the IP camera by designating a list of IP addresses that can access the IP camera and a list of IP addresses that cannot access the IP camera.

To display the IP Filter window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Setup, then click IP Filter.

If you change any options in the IP Filter window, you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save. These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.

Table 3-5describes the options in the IP Filter window.

Choose the option that specifies how to control IP addresses from which the

 

 

IP camera can be accessed:

 

 

• Disable—Do not use the IP address filtering feature. In this case, the IP

 

 

camera can be accessed from a device with any IP address.

 

 

• Enable and deny the following IP address—Lets you designate one or

 

 

more IP addresses or range of IP addresses that cannot access the IP

 

 

camera. All other IP addresses can access the IP camera.

 

 

• Enable and allow the following IP address—Lets you designate one

 

 

or more IP addresses or range of IP addresses that can access the IP

 

 

camera. All other IP addresses cannot access the IP camera.

 

 

 

Single/Range

 

If you enable IP address filtering, choose either of the following options

 

 

from as many drop-down lists as needed:

 

 

• Single—Enter an IP address that is denied or allowed access to the IP

 

 

camera, depending on the Options setting.

 

 

• Range—Enter a range of IP address that is denied or allowed access to

 

 

the IP camera, depending on the Options setting.

 

 

 

EAPOL Window

The EAPOL window provides options for configuring Extensible Authentication Protocol Over LANs (EAPOL). This protocol is used to authenticate and control user traffic in an 802.1x network.

To display the EAPOL window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Setup, then click EAPOL.

If you change any options in the EAPOL window, you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save. These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.

CIVS-IPC-2500, 2500 Series specifications

The Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are a series of versatile, feature-rich networking devices designed to address the needs of various enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses. Released in the early 1990s, the 2500 Series quickly became a backbone solution for organizations seeking reliable and efficient networking capabilities.

One of the defining characteristics of the Cisco 2500 Series is its modular architecture, which allows businesses to customize their routers based on specific networking needs. This modularity accommodates various interface cards, enabling the integration of different protocols and connection types, including serial, Ethernet, and WAN interfaces. As a result, organizations can tailor their routers to support diverse applications while ensuring optimal performance.

The Cisco 2500 Series supports several advanced routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP. This support provides flexibility for network design and ensures that users can implement scalable solutions as their business grows. Moreover, the routers come equipped with robust security features, including access control lists (ACLs) and support for VPNs, making them suitable for organizations that require a secure network environment.

A notable feature of the Cisco 2500 Series is its support for Quality of Service (QoS). This functionality allows organizations to prioritize certain types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communications and need to maintain high levels of service quality.

Additionally, the implementation of Cisco’s internetworking technologies, such as IP and frame relay, enhances the overall performance and versatility of the 2500 Series routers. These technologies enable efficient data transmission and improve network reliability, which is essential for organizations with complex networking requirements.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are known for their modular design, support for multiple routing protocols, robust security features, and advanced QoS capabilities. Their ability to adapt to different networking environments makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and streamline their operations. Even decades after their introduction, the 2500 Series remains a relevant player in the networking market, demonstrating Cisco's commitment to providing effective solutions for diverse industries.
