Access Control Buttons

Access Control button--This button toggles to enable or disable SKIP. When SKIP is enabled, the ACL rules apply. (For example, you could have only the "default" entry in the authorized systems list and some entries in the excluded systems list. In this case, any host except those that are in the excluded systems list could connect.) When SKIP is disabled, any system can connect, if the "default" entry is configured in the clear.

Unauthorized System button--This button is used to set the policy regarding unauthorized systems.

If a default authorized host entry exists, this policy does not take effect. The default entry has the name "default" and the ACL looks for this entry (in authorized or excluded host lists) if it cannot find a given entry that matches the host or network criteria.

The policy can be

No Access--Does not allow unauthorized hosts to connect.

Ask For Confirmation--Every time an unauthorized host connects, a pop-up window appears on which the user determines whether or not that particular connection should be allowed.

Add Automatically--Any host that sends packets to this system is automatically added to the authorized systems list.

It is recommended that you do not change the value from "No Access."
