Configuring Your Devices
In this scenario, you are a system administrator who wants to use CiscoView to configure a Catalyst 4000 series device and add IP addresses to allow other management workstations to access the same device. At the same time, you want to limit access to that particular device for other management workstations.
What You Need
Verify these prerequisites before starting the procedure for this scenario:
How to Do It—Procedures
Use the procedures in this section to:
1. Access the Device Configuration Dialog Box.
2. Add IP Addresses for Other Management Workstations.
Access the Device Configuration Dialog Box
Access the Device Configuration dialog box to configure your device:
Step 1 Select a device from the Object Selector. A graphical representation of the device chassis appears.
Step 2 Right-click the device.The context menu appears.
Step 3 Click Configure.
Step 4 From the Device Configuration dialog box, configure your Catalyst 4000 device by entering the required information for that device.
Step 5 Click OK.
Add IP Addresses for Other Management Workstations
After you configure your device, add new IP addresses to allow other management workstations to access the same device:
Step 1 From the Device Configuration dialog box, select IP permit from the Category list to display the IP Permit window.
In the IP Permit window, create an IP address to be included within the IP address list. This list determines which management workstation is permitted or restricted from accessing this particular device.
 |
Note IP addresses allow management workstations to access specific devices for configuration. You can add as many IP addresses to the IP address list as necessary. |
Step 2 Click Create. The row creation dialog box appears.
Step 3 Enter the IP address and the IP mask and click OK. The new IP address is added to the IP address list.
Limit Device Access
Limit access privileges for other management workstations and monitor unauthorized attempts to access the device:
Step 1 From the IP Permit window, highlight the IP address to be deleted from the IP address list and click Delete. This disables that particular management workstation from accessing the device.
Step 2 To monitor unauthorized attempts to access the device, reopen the IP Permit window to view any access to the device.
Where You Should End Up—Verification
After you configure your device and limit access to the device by other management workstations, verify that there are no unauthorized workstations accessing the device:
Step 1 Go to the bottom of the window to view the Access Attempts from Invalid IP addresses box. This dialog box provides information about which management workstation recently attempted to access the device, the time and date of attempted access, and a list of the invalid IP addresses that were deleted.
Step 2 If a deleted IP address is still attempting to access the device, notify the owner of that particular management workstation regarding any recent changes made to the owner's security level.
