Using Authorized IP Managers

Defining Authorized Management Stations

ProCurve(config)# ip authorized-managers 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.255 manager

Figure 14-4. Example of Configuring IP Authorized Manager

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

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

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

ProCurve(config)# ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.101 255.255.255.252 access manager

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.

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
