IP Filtering
The IP filtering function keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing the Console Server by
specifying rules.
The IP address/mask specifies the host range by entering the base host IP address followed
by “/” and the subnet mask (“/” is a required separator between the IP address and the
subnet mask). The host IP addresses are filtered based on the rule defined.
The table below provides examples of IP address/mask settings.
The “Port” is a port or port range of the Console Server to which hosts try to access.
ChainRule
The chain rule determines whether the access from the hosts is allowed or not. It can be one
of two values:
• ACCEPT: access allowed
• DROP:access not allowed
