7.2Limit logins to your IP addresses

To change the general settings, you need an administrator account.

IPs allowed to access SmartOLT

To allow logins only from your own networks, go to Settings → General and click Edit general settings. In IPs allowed to access SmartOLT, enter the public IP addresses and subnets of those networks, separated by commas, for example 203.0.113.10,198.51.100.0/24. Leave the field empty to allow logins from any address.

SmartOLT checks the list before it saves it, and it can show these errors:

Warning

The list applies to every user, including you. If your public IP address changes, for example when you work from home or from a mobile network, you cannot log in. For this reason, add every network that you log in from.
