Restricting remote access to management functions
You can restrict access to management functions from remote sources, including Telnet, the Web
Management Interface, and SNMP. The following methods for restricting remote access are
supported:
• Allowing remote access only from specific IP addresses
• Allowing remote access only to clients connected to a specific VLAN
• Specifically disabling Telnet or Web Management Interface access to the device
The following sections describe how to restrict remote access to a Brocade Virtual ADX using these
