Setting IP Filtering Parameters


 

IP filtering allows to restrict access to the service from a network on the connection stage. Zilab Remote Console Server maintains two address lists. One for allowed addresses and one for denied. List element can be an address or an address with masked fields for example 111.111.*.*.

IP Checking Procedure

On new connection, the checking procedure begins from the denied list. If the address is in the list (or it matches any mask), the connection will be rejected. If address is no found in the denied list, it checked in the allowed list. If the address is in the list (or it matches any mask) the connection will be accepted, otherwise will be rejected.

In other words,

  1. IP address is blocked, if it is presented in the denied list or it is not presented in the allowed list.
  2. IP address is allowed, if it is not presented in the denied list and it is presented in the allowed list.

To manage IP lists use Add, Edit and Remove buttons and the appeared IP edit dialog.

Note If you finished to change Zilab Remote Console Server's settings, use the Update settings button in order that the changes take place. Zilab Remote Console Server has no settings, which require complete restart of the service.
