access

Use the "access" command to view and configure access control. You can also specify two or more access ranges.

The access range restricts computers from use of the machine by IP address. If you do not need to restrict printing, make the setting "0.0.0.0" for IPv4, and "::" for IPv6.

msh> access "ID" range

IPv6 configuration display

msh> access "ID" range6

IPv6 access mask configuration display

msh> access "ID" mask6

IPv4 configuration

msh> access "ID" range "start-address end-address"

Example: to specify accessible IPv4 addresses between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.20:

msh> access 1 range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.20

IPv6 configuration

msh> access "ID" range6 "start-address end-address"

Example: to specify accessible IPv6 addresses between 2001:DB8::100 and 2001:DB8::200.

msh> access 1 range6 2001:DB8::100 2001:DB8::200

IPv6 access mask configuration

msh> access "ID" mask6 "base-address prefixlen"

Example: to specify accessible IPv6 addresses to 2001:DB8::/32

msh> access 1 mask6 2001:DB8:: 32

Access control initialization

msh> access flush

Use the "flush" command to restore the default settings so that all access ranges become "0.0.0.0" for IPv4, and "::" for IPv6.

You can specify each IPv6 entry by either range or mask. For the range parameter, you can select "start-address end-address". For the mask parameter, you can select "baseaddress prefixlen".
Valid ranges must be from lower (start address) to higher (end address).
For IPv4 and IPv6, you can select an ID number between 1 and 5.
IPv6 can register and select the range and the mask for each access range.
IPv6 mask ranges between 1 and 128 can be selected.
Up to five access ranges can be specified. The entry is invalid if the target number is omitted.
You cannot send print jobs, or access Web Image Monitor controlled from networked computers and diprint from a restricted IP address. (Web Image Monitor is a management tool installed on this machine to monitor this machine or configure settings for this machine by using a web browser.)
