IP ranges

IP ranges

Under the Passive Agent Configurations window you have the option of limiting the (Undefined variable: User_Guide.ProductAbbrev) Servers or Control Servers to hosts from within selected IP address ranges. If you have multiple (Undefined variable: User_Guide.ProductAbbrev) Servers or Control Servers, you can control which servers respond to which user login/logout requests based on the IP address of the host connecting to the network. If IP address ranges are configured on this server it will only respond to requests from hosts within the range. If no IP address ranges are configured, the server responds to all requests.

Configure IP ranges

  1. Select Policy > Passive Agent Configuration.
  2. Click the IP Ranges button at the bottom of the window.

  3. Click the Add button to add an IP address Range. Enter the Starting and Ending IP addresses and click OK.

  4. To modify a range, select it from the list and click Modify.
  5. To delete a range, select it from the list and click Delete.
  6. When the ranges are configured correctly, click Close.

Test IP addresses

Use the Test button to test an individual IP to make sure it is contained within one of the IP address ranges in the list.

  1. Select Policy > Passive Agent Configuration.
  2. Click the IP Ranges button at the bottom of the window.
  3. Click the Test button.
  4. Enter a single IP address and click OK.
  5. A message is displayed indicating either that the IP Passed or the IP Failed. If the IP failed you must either update your ranges or configure the appropriate range on a different (Undefined variable: User_Guide.ProductAbbrev) Server.
