Configure MGT IP Filters

About this task

By default, ExtremeCloud IQ devices enable administrative access from all IP addresses. To provide tighter security, you can restrict administrative access. As soon as you apply a filter to a device—which you do by applying the filter to a network policy and then applying that policy to a device—the device denies access from all other IP addresses except those specified in the filter.

Procedure

  1. Select ON from the Network Policy Settings page.
  2. To use an existing filter, select the Re-use MGT IP Filter icon.
  3. To create a new filter, enter the name that you want to use to identify this filter when you apply it to a network policy.
  4. Enter an optional description.
  5. In the Permitted Management Traffic From section, select an IP address in the Available IP Address column from which you want to permit administrators to access the devices, and then select the single arrow ( > ) to move it to the Selected IP Address column.
  6. Select Add Another IP Object to repeat the process.
  7. Select Save MGT IP Filter.
