Using Passwords, Port Security, and Authorized IP Managers To Protect Against Unauthorized Access

Using IP Authorized Managers

The following command replaces the existing mask and access level for IP address 10.28.227.101 with 255.0.0.0 and manager (the defaults) because the command does not specify either of these parameters .

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(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:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# no ip authorized-managers 10.28.227.101

Web: Configuring IP Authorized Managers

In the web browser interface you can configure IP Authorized Managers as described below.

To Add, Modify, or Delete an IP Authorized Manager address:

1.Click on the Security tab.

2.Click on [Authorized Addresses].

3.Enter the appropriate parameter settings for the operation you want.

4.Click on [Add], [Replace], or [Delete] to implement the configuration change.

Building IP Masks

The IP Mask parameter controls how the switch uses an Authorized Manager IP value to recognize the IP addresses of authorized manager stations on your network.

Configuring One Station Per Authorized Manager IP Entry

This is the easiest way to apply a mask. If you have ten or fewer management and/or operator stations, you can configure them quickly by simply adding the address of each to the Authorized Manager IP list with 255.255.255.255 for the corresponding mask. For example, as shown in figure 7-15on page 7-32,if you configure an IP address of 10.28.227.125 with an IP mask of 255.255.255.255, only a station having an IP address of 10.28.227.125 has management access to the switch.
