By default, Kemp 360 Central allows connections from any client network, however, you can create a whitelist where you can specify what networks you want UI access to be available on. If you try to access a Kemp 360 Central machine from a network or IP address that is not on the whitelist, an error occurs and you are not allowed access to the system.

Note: The whitelist applies to UI access only. API access to Kemp 360 Central remains open to any network that has a route to Kemp 360 Central. This is required to support API access from all managed devices.

By default, the All (Whitelist is inactive) option is selected. You can edit the whitelist when it is in either the inactive or active state. To add an entry to the whitelist, perform the following steps:

  1. Click the plus icon.
  2. Type the IP address of the network (or individual IP address) you want to add to the whitelist and click Add.
    Note: You can add multiple IP addresses by separating each address with a comma. You can also type the IP address in CIDR format, for example, 192.168.100.0/24, to whitelist a range of IP addresses.
  3. To remove an IP address from the whitelist, select the address and click the minus icon.
    Note: As a lockout protection mechanism, the IP address of the device from where the UI is being accessed is always added to the whitelist, even if it is not specified by the user.
  4. Click Apply to apply your changes.
Note: If you are using a private IP address, that address is automatically added to the whitelist. The same applies for a public IP address.

After you have added all the IP addresses you need to the whitelist, you can then enable the whitelist by selecting the Specific Clients & Networks Only (Whitelist is active) option and clicking Apply.
