Using Authorized IP Managers

Options

Options

You can configure:

■Up to 10 authorized manager addresses, where each address applies to either a single management station or a group of stations

■Manager or Operator access privileges

Configuring Authorized IP Managers does not protect access to the switch through a modem or direct connection to the Console (RS-232) port. Also, if the IP address assigned to an authorized management station is configured in another station, the other station can gain management access to the switch even though a duplicate IP address condition exists. For these reasons, you should enhance your network’s security by keeping physical access to the switch restricted to authorized personnel, using the TACACS+ and username/ password features built into the switch, and preventing unauthorized access to data on your management stations.

Access Levels

For each authorized manager address, you can configure either of these access levels:

■Manager: Enables full access to all web browser and console inter face screens for viewing, configuration, and all other operations available in these interfaces.

■Operator: Allows read-only access from the web browser and console interfaces. (This is the same access that is allowed by the switch’s operator-level password feature.)
