Restricting Remote Access to the Device to Specific VLAN IDs
You can restrict management access to a RUCKUS device to ports within a specific port-based VLAN. VLAN-based access control applies to the following access methods:
By default, access is allowed for these methods on all ports. Once you configure security for a given access method based on VLAN ID, access to the device using that method is restricted to only the ports within the specified VLAN.
VLAN-based access control works in conjunction
with other access control methods. For example, if you configure Telnet access
only to
specific client IP addresses, and you also configure VLAN-based access control
for
Telnet, the only Telnet clients that can access the device are clients that have
IP
addresses or MAC addresses permitted by the management access command
and are connected to a port that is in a permitted VLAN. Clients that have a permitted
IP address or MAC address but are connected to a port in a VLAN that is not permitted
still cannot access the device through Telnet.
