WebSphere TCP transport chains allow you to reject or allow connections to an application from a list or range of IP addresses. To set up an inbound transport chain, perform the following steps:
Open the WebSphere Administration Server Console.
Select Server > Server Types > WebSphere Application Server >
server_name> Ports.Click View Associated Transports to see the ports that are associated with the TCP transport channel of the application to which you want to restrict access.
Select a transport chain.
Select TCP Inbound Channel (TCP 2).
The configuration page for the TCP transport chain will be displayed. Lists or ranges of IP addresses can be added under the Address Exclude List and Address Include List to exclude or include IP addresses that can access the application.
For detailed information on transport chains, refer to your IBM WebSphere documentation.
