Admin IP Restrict

It's possible to restrict admin area access to a specific set of IP addresses. Administration of this feature is only available via CLI on the control server.

Adding an IP address​

You can add as many addresses as you like.

From CLI run the following command:

vfcli-ctrl admin:ip-restrict addip IP_TO_ADD

Replace IP_TO_ADD with the address you would like to lock the admin area too. for example:

vfcli-ctrl admin:ip-restrict addip 10.0.100.200

You can also allow the whole range in the subnet by shortening the address:

vfcli-ctrl admin:ip-restrict addip 10.0.100.

This functionality also applies to IPv6.

Deleting an IP address​

From CLI run the following command:

vfcli-ctrl admin:ip-restrict delip IP_TO_DELETE

Replace IP_TO_DELETE with the address you would like to delete. for example:

vfcli-ctrl admin:ip-restrict delip 10.0.100.200

Enable IP Restrict​

Once you have added the IP addresses using the commands above, you will need to enable restrictions. You can do that by running the following command:

vfcli-ctrl admin:ip-restrict enable

Disable IP Restrict​

If you need to turn restrictions off for any reason, run the following command:

vfcli-ctrl admin:ip-restrict disable
