Setting

Description

[IPv4 Filtering (Permit Access)]

Specify an IPv4 address to allow access to this machine.

  • [IPv4 Filtering (Permit Access)]: When specifying the IPv4 address that allow access, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

  • Range 1 to Range 5: Enter the range of IPv4 addresses that allow access using the following format.
    Entry example: "192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.10"
    If a single IPv4 address is allowed to access, you can only enter the address in one side of the range.

[IPv4 Filtering (Deny Access)]

Specify an IPv4 address to deny access to this machine.

  • [IPv4 Filtering (Deny Access)]: When specifying the IPv4 address that deny access, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

  • Range 1 to Range 5: Enter the range of IPv4 addresses that deny access using the following format.
    Entry example: "192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.10"
    To deny access from a single IPv4 address, you can only enter the address in one side of the range.

[IPv6 Filtering (Permit Access)]

Specify an IPv6 address to allow access to this machine.

  • [IPv6 Filtering (Permit Access)]: When specifying the IPv6 address that allow access, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

  • Range 1 to Range 5: Enter the IPv6 address and prefix length to specify the range of IPv6 addresses that allow access.

[IPv6 Filtering (Deny Access)]

Specify an IPv6 address to deny access to this machine.

  • [IPv6 Filtering (Deny Access)]: When specifying the IPv6 address that deny access, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

  • Range 1 to Range 5: Enter the IPv6 address and prefix length to specify the range of IPv6 addresses that deny access.

To automatically specify the range of IP addresses that are available to access this machine ([Quick IP Filtering])

To display:
  • [Utility]
    • [Administrator]
      • [Network]
        • [TCP/IP Setting]
          • [Quick IP Filtering]

Allows you to restrict the devices that can access this machine using the IP address (IPv4/IPv6). The range of IP addresses for which access is to be restricted is specified automatically.

Select the method to specify IP addresses for which access is to be restricted. [Synchronize IP Address] is specified by default. In some areas, [No Filtering] is specified by default.

  • [Synchronize IP Address]: For the IPv4 address, this option only permits access for the IPv4 address set to this machine, and the IPv4 addresses of which the high-order 3 bytes are the same.
    Example: When the IPv4 address of this machine is set to "192.168.0.134", the range of IPv4 addresses that allow access is as follows.
    192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255
    For the IPv6 address, this option only permits access for the global unicast address (2000::/3). Also, this option only permits access for the IPv6 address set to this machine, and the IPv6 addresses of which the high-order 64 bits are the same.
    Example: When the IPv6 address of this machine is set to "2345:1:2:3:4:5:6:7", the range of IPv6 addresses that allow access is as follows.
    2345:1:2:3::0 to 2345:1:2:3:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

  • [Synchronize Subnet Mask]: For the IPv4 address, this option only permits access for IPv4 addresses that belong to the same network using the IPv4 address set to this machine and subnet mask.
    If no subnet mask is set or "0.0.0.0" is specified, this option permits the IPv4 address set to this machine, and the IPv4 addresses each of which only the suffix is different. This results in the same operation as for [Synchronize IP Address].
    Example: When the IPv4 address of this machine is set to "192.168.17.134" and the subnet mask is set to "255.255.252.0", the range of IPv4 addresses that allow access is as follows.
    192.168.16.*** to 192.168.19.***
    For the IPv6 address, this option only permits access for the global unicast address (2000::/3). Also, filtering is carried out using the global IPv6 address set to this machine and prefix.
    If the prefix is not specified, filtering is carried out in the same way as when the 64-bit prefix is specified.
    Example: When the IPv6 address of this machine is set to "2345:1:2:3:4:5:6:7" and Prefix is set to "/64", the range of IPv6 addresses that allow access is as follows.
    2345:1:2:3::0 to 2345:1:2:3:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

  • [No Filtering]: Does not use the filtering function.

  • If the quick IP filtering function is used, the range of IP addresses for which access is to be restricted is specified automatically. To manually specify the range of IP addresses for which access is to be restricted, set [IP Address Filtering] or [Packet Filtering] instead of using [Quick IP Filtering].

  • When Quick IP Filtering is enabled, you may fail to access Web Connection. If you cannot access Web Connection, set Quick IP Filtering to [No Filtering].

    Format: "*.*.*.*"
    For "*", specify the value between 0 and 255.
    If necessary, you can specify the address range depending on the IPv4 address and prefix length. In this case, the address range that matches bits in the prefix part is targeted for filtering.
    Format: "*.*.*.*/@"
    For "*", specify the value between 0 and 255. For "@", specify the value between 1 and 31.

  • If you select [IPv6] in [Address Type], specify the address range depending on the IPv6 and prefix length. You can specify the multicast address as needed.
    Format: "****:****:****:****:****:****:****:****/@"
    For "*", specify a hexadecimal number. For "@", specify the value between 1 and 127.

  • If you select [MAC Address] in [Address Type], specify the MAC address. In this case, only a single address is targeted for filtering. You cannot specify the address range.
    Format: "**:**:**:**:**:**"
    For "*", specify a hexadecimal number.

[End Address]

When you select IPv4 in [Address Type], specify the ending address of the IPv4 address range to be filtered. If you skip [End Address], only the address specified in [Start Address] is targeted for filtering.

Format: "*.*.*.*"

For "*", specify the value between 0 and 255.

When you specify the prefix length of the IPv4 address in [Start Address], you cannot specify the ending address.

[Receive/Send]

Select the communication direction of the target packet.

  • [RX]: Restricts packets received by the machine depending on the source address.

  • [TX]: Restricts packets sent by the machine depending on the destination address.

If you select [MAC Address] in [Address Type], you cannot set to [TX].

[Allow/Denied]

Select whether to allow or reject a communication of the target packet.

  • To edit or delete a registered filter, specify the target one in the filter list, and select [Edit] or [Delete].
