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.
To configure IP Binding:
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 Procedures Related Topic
