Administrative Access
By default, anyone in your network can manage a device if they know the login and
password.
To configure a device to be managed only from a specific host on your network,
use the WebUI or CLI as follows:
WebUI
Configuration > Admin > Permitted IPs: Enter the following, then click Add:
IP Address/Netmask: ip_addr/mask
CLI
set admin manager-ip ip_addr/mask
save
Interface IP Address
The ethernet0/0 interface has the default IP address 192.168.1.1/24 and is
preconfigured for management services. If you connect the ethernet0/0 interface
on a device to a workstation, you can configure the device from a workstation in
the 192.168.1.1/24 subnetwork using a management service such as Telnet. To
change the default interface IP address on the device, use the WebUI or CLI as
follows:
WebUI
Network > Interfaces > Edit (for ethernet0/0): Enter the following, then click
OK:
IP Address/Netmask: ip_addr/mask
