Settings

Description

 

 

IP Range Enabled

Enables the IP Range checking feature, which defines a specific

 

range of IP addresses that can access the iDRAC6.

 

 

IP Range Address

Determines the acceptable IP address bit pattern, depending on

 

the 1's in the subnet mask. This value is bitwise AND’d with the

 

IP Range Subnet Mask to determine the upper portion of the

 

allowed IP address. Any IP address that contains this bit pattern

 

in its upper bits is allowed to establish an iDRAC6 session.

 

Logins from IP addresses that are outside this range will fail.

 

The default values in each property allow an address range from

 

192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 to establish an iDRAC6 session.

 

 

IP Range Subnet

Defines the significant bit positions in the IP address.

Mask

The subnet mask should be in the form of a netmask, where the

 

more significant bits are all 1's with a single transition to all

 

zeros in the lower-order bits.

 

For example: 255.255.255.0

 

 

IP Blocking

Enables the IP address blocking feature, which limits the

Enabled

number of failed login attempts from a specific IP address for a

 

preselected time span.

 

 

IP Blocking Fail

Sets the number of login failures attempted from an IP address

Count

before the login attempts are rejected from that address.

 

 

IP Blocking Fail

Determines the time span in seconds within which IP Block Fail

Window

Count failures must occur to trigger the IP Block Penalty Time.

 

 

IP Blocking

The time span in seconds within which login attempts from an

Penalty Time

IP address with excessive failures are rejected.
