Using Authorized IP Managers

Defining Authorized Management Stations

The above example shows an Authorized IP Manager List that allows stations to access the switch as shown below:

IP Mask

Authorized Station IP Address:

Access Mode:

255.255.255.252

10.28.227.100 through 103

Manager

255.255.255.254

10.28.227.104 through 105

Manager

255.255.255.255

10.28.227.125

Manager

255.255.255.0

10.28.227.0 through 255

Operator

 

 

 

Configuring IP Authorized Managers for the Switch

Syntax: ip authorized-managers <ip address>

Configures one or more authorized IP addresses.

[mask <mask-bits>]

Configures the IP mask for < ip address >

<operator manager>

Configures the privilege level for < ip address>.

To Authorize Manager Access. This command authorizes manager-level access for any station having an IP address of 10.28.227.0 through 10.28.227.255:

HPswitch(config)# ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.101 mask 255.255.255.0 manager

Similarly, the next command authorizes manager-level access for any station having an IP address of 10.28.227.101 through 103:

HPswitch(config)# ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.101 mask 255.255.255.252 manager

If you omit the mask when adding a new authorized manager, the switch automatically uses 255.255.255.255 for the mask. If you do not specify either Manager or Operator access, the switch automatically assigns the Manager access. For example:

HPswitch(config)# ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.105
