IP Binding specifies the IP addresses that HP SMH accepts requests from and controls the nets and subnets that requests are processed.

Administrators can configure HP SMH to only bind to addresses specified in the IP Binding window. Five subnet IP addresses and netmasks can be defined.

An IP address on the server is bound if it matches one of the entered IP Binding addresses after the mask is applied.

HP SMH on Windows and Linux supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

HP SMH on HP-UX currently supports only IPv4 addresses.

HP SMH always binds to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is enabled and no subnet/mask pairs are configured, HP SMH is only available to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is not enabled, you bind to all addresses.

To configure IP Binding:

  1. Select Settings from the menu.

  2. In the System Management Homepage box, click the Security link.

  3. Click the IP Binding link.

  4. Enter the Subnet IP Address.

  5. Enter the Netmask.

  6. Click [Add] to add the Subnet IP Address and Netmask that were entered in the preceding steps.

    You can add up to five subnet IP addresses and netmasks by repeating steps 4 through 7.

  7. Click [Apply] to apply the configurations.

    The netmask is applicable only for IPv4 addresses.

To remove IP addresses from the list:

  1. Select Settings from the menu.

  2. In the System Management Homepage box, click the Security link.

  3. Click the IP Binding link.

  4. Select the check box beside the IP address you want to remove.

  5. Click [Remove].

  6. Click [Apply] to apply the configurations.

Each IP address and netmask must consist of four octets with values between 0 and 255 (the same for each netmask).

Netmasks must start with the number 1 in the highest bit and continue with all number 1s until they switch to all number 0s (for example, 255.255.0.0, 192.0.0.0, 255.192.0.0).
