Building IP Masks

The IP Mask parameter controls how the switch uses an Authorized Manager IP value to recognize the IP addresses of authorized manager stations on your network.

Configuring One Station Per Authorized Manager IP Entry

This is the easiest way to apply a mask. If you have ten or fewer management and/or operator stations, you can configure them quickly by simply adding the address of each to the Authorized Manager IP list with 255.255.255.255 for the corresponding mask. For example, as shown in figure 7-15 on page 7-34, if you configure an IP address of 10.28.227.125 with an IP mask of 255.255.255.255, only a station having an IP address of 10.28.227.125 has management access to the switch.
