Just as port security allows and disallows specific MAC addresses from accessing a network, the EnerVista Secure Web Management software can allow or block specific IP addresses or a range of IP addresses to access the switch.

ZAccess this functionality via the Configuration > Access > IP Access menu item.

The window above show the authorized access list for managing the switch. Note specific services can be authorized. Also note that individual stations or a group of stations with IP addresses can be authorized.
