Trusted host The trusted host IP address for the location from which the administrator can
log into the FortiLog unit.
If you want the administrator to be able to access the FortiLog unit from any
address, set the trusted host to 0.0.0.0 and the netmask to 0.0.0.0.
To limit the administrator to only access the FortiLog unit from a specific
network, set the trusted host to the address of the network and set the netmask
to the netmask for the network.
For example, to limit an administrator to accessing the FortiLog unit from your
internal network, set the trusted host to the address of your internal network
(for example, 192.168.1.0) and set the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
Netmask The trusted host netmask for the location from which the administrator can log
into the web-based manager. If Netmask is 0.0.0.0 there is no restriction on the
netmask.
Permission The permission level for the administrator.
