Using Authorized IP Managers

Defining Authorized Management Stations

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

Omitting a mask in the ip authorized-managers command results in a default mask of 255.255.255.255, which authorizes only the specified station. Refer to “Configuring Multiple Stations Per Authorized Manager IP Entry” on page 12-11.

To Edit an Existing Manager Access Entry. To change the mask or access level for an existing entry, use the entry’s IP address and enter the new value(s). (Notice that any parameters not included in the command will be set to their default.):

ProCurve(config)# ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.101 255.255.255.0 access operator

The above command replaces the existing mask and access level for IP address 10.28.227.101 with 255.255.255.0 and operator.

The following command replaces the existing mask and access level for IP address 10.28.227.101 with 255.255.255.255 and manager (the defaults) because the command does not specify either of these parameters.

ProCurve(config)# ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.101

To Delete an Authorized Manager Entry. This command uses the IP

address of the authorized manager you want to delete:

ProCurve(config)# no ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.101
