Using Authorized IP Managers

 

Defining Authorized Management Stations

 

255.255.255.252 uses the 4th octet of a given Authorized Manager IP address to

 

authorize four IP addresses for management station access. The details on

 

how to use IP masks are provided under “Building IP Masks” on page 10-9.

 

 

Note

The IP Mask is a method for recognizing whether a given IP address is

 

authorized for management access to the switch. This mask serves a different

 

purpose than IP subnet masks and is applied in a different manner.
