DFL-1100 Installation Guide

WAN

,

DMZ

, or 

ETH4

) under the heading titled Add administrative access via: or click on 

Edit

 next to an interface that has

already been configured.

Ping: If enabled, specifies the IP addresses/range that can ping the interface of the DFL-1100. The default setting allows
everyone to ping the interface IP.

Admin: If enabled, allows users with admin rights to access the specified interface with full access to the web-based
configuration. Configuration via HTTP and HTTPS or only HTTPS can also be configured.

Read-Only: If enabled, allows users to view but not modify the DFL-1100 configuration from the specified interface.
Viewing via HTTP and HTTPS or only HTTP can also be configured.

Note: User settings and interface settings limit what a user can do. So if a full admin user logs on via an
interface configured with read-only access, the user will only receive read-only access.

SNMP: Specifies if SNMP should be allowed or not for the specified interface. The DFL-1100 supports read-only access.

Any of the settings below can be limited to specific IP addresses (192.168.0.0/24, 10.0.0.5 - 10.0.0.9) by entering the
ranges in the Networks: field. When left blank there are no IP address restrictions.
