Access-List

I would like to only allow users coming from a certain IP address to be able to configure a switch remotely.

We have some 33xx series switches that we monitor remotely and we believe a user that is connected to the switch is breaking in and changing the configuration.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

    You can configure a management access-list to permit only the management traffic you want to allow. See the following link to the online CLI Guide for more information on management access-lists:

    Okay...maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

    I'm trying to make an access-list that only allows a computer connected to 1/e24 to configure the switch. This is what I did:

    console# conf
    console(config)# management access-list mlist
    console(config-macl)# permit ethernet 1/e24
    console(config-macl)# exit
    console(config)# management access-class mlist
    console(config)#


    When I issue the "management access-class mlist" to make the "mlist" the active access-list I'm unable to connect to the switch via a web browser from port 1/e24 or any other port.

    Using a management access-list to permit only management traffic from a physical ethernet port only works if you have bound an IP address to that port.
     
    You can accomplish the same results using one of the following methods:
    1. Use the "permit ip-source ipaddress" command to permit only the ip address of your management station.
    2. Remove the IP address from VLAN 1 and bind it to interface 1/e24. This will basically make the port act as an out-of-band port. Only a client connected to the port will be able to manage the switch. However, the client will no longer participate on the network.

    Hello,

     

    You can refer to the N series configuration guide and search for “management ACL” to see an example of a management ACL.

    https://dell.to/4aCZrW0

    For example on page 733, you may need to permit certain services that you need.

    console(config)#management access-list mlist

    ……

    console(config-ip-acl)#permit service any

                         console(config-ip-acl)#exit

    iam refering on switch 6248

    i have to permit management of the switch only (for exemple) for two subnets only and not stop others comunications


    what iam testing is (config):

    management access-list mlist
    permit ip-source 10.10.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0 priority 1

    permit ip-source 10.10.2.1 mask 255.255.255.0 priority 2

    and now, what  iam understanding is i need to config this line:

    permit service any

    so basicaly i have to management ip address of the switches in subnet 10.10.1.1 and 10.10.2.1

    thnks for the advices

    Thanks a lot for the tips

    Just a quick question this configuration only applies to management traffic of only the switch when this configuration in enabled.

    So other types off traffic (https, http, and etc) of the machines conected to him for website or others devices is not affected?

    Hello,

    Yes, you're correct. The configuration of a management ACL (Access Control List) on your switch, such as the Dell 6248, is designed to control access to the management interface of the switch itself. This means it will only affect traffic that is intended to manage the switch, like SSH, Telnet, SNMP, etc.

    Other types of traffic, such as HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, and ping, that are used by devices connected to the switch for general network communication, will not be affected by the management ACL. These types of traffic will continue to flow normally unless you have other ACLs or firewall rules in place that specifically restrict them.

    thanks
