ACL Usage to Restrict Remote Access

You can use standard ACLs to control the following access methods to management functions on a RUCKUS device:

  • Telnet
  • SSH
  • Web management
  • SNMP

Consider the following to configure access control for these management access methods.

  1. Configure an ACL with the IP addresses you want to allow to access the device.
  2. Configure a Telnet access group, SSH access group, or SNMP community strings. Each of these configuration items accepts an ACL as a parameter. The ACL contains entries that identify the IP addresses that can use the access method.

    The following sections present some basic examples of how to secure management access using ACLs. Refer to ACLs for more information on configuring ACLs. For details on the syntax of the permit and deny statements used in ACLs, refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Command Reference.

  2. Configuration Examples of Restricting Remote Access Using ACLs
    Remote access to management functions can be an efficient way to manage your devices. When you need to restrict this access, you can use ACLs.
