Accessible IP Settings
NPort has an IP address based filtering method to control access to itself.
Accessible IP Settings allows you to add or block remote host IP addresses to prevent unauthorized access. Access to NPort is controlled by IP address. That is, if a host’s IP address is in the accessible IP table, then the host will be allowed to access the NPort. You can allow one of the following cases by setting the parameter.
zOnly one host with a specific IP address can access the NPort
Enter “IP address/255.255.255.255” (e.g., “192.168.1.1/255.255.255.255”).
zHosts on a specific subnet can access the NPort
Enter “IP address/255.255.255.0” (e.g., “192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0”).
zAny host can access the NPort
Disable this function. Refer to the following table for more details about the configuration example.
