NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration
5-28
Accessible IP Settings
The NPort 5100 uses 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 5100 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 5100. You
can allow one of the following cases by setting the parameter.
• Only one host with a specific IP address can access the NPort 5100
Enter “IP address/255.255.255.255” (e.g., “192.168.1.1/255.255.255.255”).
• Hosts on a specific subnet can access the NPort 5100
Enter “IP address/255.255.255.0” (e.g., “192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0”).
• Any host can access the NPort 5100
Disable this function by un-checking the “Enable the accessible IP list” checkbox. Refer to the
following table for more configuration examples.
