The first three fields, IPv6 Address, Address prefix length, and Logon, show the original IP address range and how Firewall is set to react to Telnet logon requests from that range. The possible values for the Logon field include:

  • *ACCEPT: Accept logon request
  • *REJECT: Reject logon request
  • *AUTOSIGNON: Sign on automatically if permitted by system configuration
  • *FRCSIGNON: Force the user to sign on even if the system is configured to accept an automatic signon.
  • *ACCEPTSIP: Accept logon request if it is from the same IP as your system.

Enter the information for the new IP address range into the remaining fields:

New IPv6 Address

The IPv6 address for the range, or *ALL, representing all addresses that are not otherwise listed.

New Address prefix length

The prefix length for the range of addresses.
