Access Control Rules

The Access Control tool lets you manage which networks have access to Switchvox.

The Access Control Rules (tab) allows network access to Switchvox services based on IP address and Netmask. The default action is to deny access, so if you don’t allow a service for a network, then the network is denied access to that service.

Create Access Control Rule

Enter the basic information for the rule:

  • A unique Rule Name.

  • The Network that the rule applies to (the IP address and Netmask).

  • Check Never Block IPs to turn off automatic Blocking for this network. YES indicates that Switchvox should never automatically block this network. For example, Local Network is set to Never block IPs.
