IP Filter
Overview
Use the IP Filter icon to limit access to your appliance to users connecting from specified IP addresses or
IP address ranges.
By default, users from any IP address can attempt to access your appliance. While access to the
appliance is granted only when valid user account names and passwords are provided, IP Filtering
provides additional security.
The IP Filter allows you to specify the following behavior:
• Which IP addresses can (or cannot) access the NetBotz appliance.
• Which protocols can (or cannot) be used to contact the NetBotz appliance over the specified IP
address range.
• Which port numbers can (or cannot) be used to contact the NetBotz appliance over the specified
IP address range.
