IP Binding specifies from which IP addresses the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) accepts requests from and provides control over which nets and subnets requests are processed.

Administrators can configure HP SMH to only bind to addresses specified in the IP Binding window. A maximum of five subnet IP addresses and netmasks can be defined.

An IP address on the server is bound if it matches one of the entered IP Binding addresses after the mask is applied.

HP SMH always binds to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is enabled and no subnet/mask pairs are configured, then HP SMH is only available to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is not enabled, you bind to all addresses.

To configure IP Binding:

  1. Click SettingsSystem Management HomepageSecurity.

  2. Click IP Binding.

  3. Select IP Binding to enable IP binding.

  4. Enter the Subnet IP Address.

  5. Enter the Netmask.

  6. Click [Save Configuration] to save the current configurations, or click [Reset Values] to cancel all changes.

    If [Save Configuration] is clicked, the following message appears:

    Setting this value requires restarting the HP System Management Homepage which may require you to log in again.

  7. Click [OK].

    • Each IP address and netmask must consist of four octets with values between 0 and 255 (the same for each netmask).

    • Netmasks must start with the number 1 in the highest bit and continue with all number 1s until they switch to all number 0s, for example: 255.255.0.0, 192.0.0.0, 255.192.0.0.
