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. To configure IP Binding: Procedure 1 Select Settings from the menu. In the System Management Homepage box, click the Security link. Click the IP Binding link. Enter the Subnet IP Address. Enter the Netmask. 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. Click [Apply] to apply the configurations.
To remove IP addresses from the list: Select Settings from the menu. In the System Management Homepage box, click the Security link. Click the IP Binding link. Select the check box beside the
IP address you want to remove. Click [Remove]. 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). Related ProceduresRelated Topic
