Manage Access Control

Access control allows you to control which devices can access the switch over a web browser for management
purposes. By default, access control is disabled. By adding one or more devices to the Access Control table,
access control is enabled and only devices in the table are allowed to access the switch over a web browser.
For more information, see the following sections:

Add Devices to the Access Control Table
Use the following guidelines for adding devices to the Access Control table:
• The IP address must be a unicast address.
• The subnet mask must be valid.
• To allow all devices under a subnet, enter 0 for the host address, that is, the host ID portion of the IP
address. For example, if you enter 192.168.100.0, all devices in the 192.168.100.1–192.168.100.254
range are allowed to access the switch over a web browser.
CAUTION:
Add the MAC address and subnet mask for the device from which you are accessing
the switch to the Access Control table before you add any other devices to the table.
Otherwise, you are locked out from the web management interface of the switch.
To add devices to the Access Control table:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
6.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the password field.
The switch's default password is password.
