Specify which IP addresses can access the server.
About this task
When you configure network access, you specify which
IP addresses can access the service processor. You can specify a list
of allowed IP addresses and a list of denied IP addresses.
To
perform this operation, you must have one of the following authority levels:
- Administrator
- Authorized service provider
To configure network access, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password,
and click Log In.
- In the navigation area, expand Network Services.
-
Select Network Access. In the content pane, the IP
address field displays the IP address of the server that your browser is running on and
that connects to the ASMI.
Note:
On systems running system firmware Ex340 or later, you will be asked to select IPv4 or
IPv6 before proceeding to the network configuration screen. If IPv6 is selected, the following
instructions can still be generally followed.
- Specify up to 16 addresses each for the list of allowed
addresses and the list of denied addresses.
ALL is
a valid IP address. If a login is received from an IP
address that matches a complete or partial IP address in the allowed
list, access to the service processor is granted. Access to the service
processor is not allowed if a login is received from an IP address
that matches a complete or partial IP address from the denied list.
Notes:
- The allowed list takes priority over the denied list, and an empty denied list is ignored.
- When the allowed list has
ALL, then access from all the IP addresses that are
reachable are allowed and the IP addresses mentioned in the denied list are ignored.
ALL is not allowed in the denied list when the allowed list is empty.
- Click Save settings to validate
the data.
