If you were to enter 128.253.180.0 / 255.255.255.0 then only those IPs from 128.253.180.1 through 128.253.180.254 would be able to access the NMC. You can still, as you said, enter an particular IP address- 128.253.180.12 / 255.255.255.255 for example.

...

Is it possible to restrict access to a subnet or subnets such that any machine on that subnet can access TCM?

Yes, You are allowed up to ten entries, each containing an IP address and a network mask.

Right, but I was under the impression the IP address had to be of a specific node machine, not set to--for example--128.253.180.0/24 so that *any* machine, regardless of node address, could access TCM from that subNet. Or am I being dense here?

If you mess up putting in the restrictions and can't get in from snmp/TCM anymore, you can reset the list from the NMC Console port with Command | ReinitializeAccessList, or just reboot the NMC if you'd like, since you hadn't saved the config yet.

Oh, I *never* mess up. 8-) ********************************************************* Michelle M.
