Configuring a Firewall

For each built-in server, the Firewall list shows all addresses that are allowed or blocked.

• If an incoming address matches an Allow address (or range), the connection is allowed.
• If the incoming address matches a Deny address, the connection is denied.
• Firewall definitions are checked against the incoming address in the order in which they appear.

Changing Firewall Definition Order

Firewall definitions are applied in the order in which they appear. You can change the order of the definitions after you create them.

To move a firewall definition to a different position in the list:

Click and drag the firewall definition to the new position.

Entering Addresses and Ranges

You can enter addresses in the access control list or you can enter address ranges. For more information, see Entering an IP Address Range.

Tip: To deny access to certain addresses, add them at the top of the list and set the Access attribute to Deny.

For a description of the Access Control process and the rules Intermapper uses to determine whether a user should be allowed to connect to an Intermapper server, see Controlling Access to Your Server.
