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 by adding the address of
each to the Authorized Manager IP list with 255.255.255.255 for the correspond
-
ing mask. For example, as shown in figure 12-3 on page 12-7, 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.
