Using a Specific VLAN to Restrict Remote Access

Remote access to RUCKUS ICX devices can be controlled using a specific VLAN ID.

Complete the following steps to restrict remote management access. All steps are optional. You can configure different types of access in any order.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Restrict Telnet access to clients in a specific VLAN. 
    device(config)# telnet server enable vlan 10
    This command allows Telnet access to the device only to clients connected to ports within port-based VLAN 10.
  3. Restrict SNMP access to clients in a specific VLAN. 
    device(config)# snmp-server enable vlan 40
    This command allows SNMP access to the device only to clients connected to ports within port-based VLAN 40.
    Note: You can also configure SNMP access for a specific Ethernet port or range of ports. Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Command Reference for more information on the snmp-server enable command.
