2d.  IP/Mask 

Specifies the IP address or IP-address range for which the rule applies. In 

the following examples, the number concatenated to an IP address with  

a “ / ” represents the number of valid bits of the given IP address that will  

be used.

2e.  Policy 

The policy determines what to do with matching packets. They can be 

either accepted or dropped.

 Warning: The order of the rules is important. The rules are checked  

in ascending order until a rule matches. All the rules below the  

matching one will be ignored. The default policy applies if no match  

has been found.

2f.   Appending a Rule 

Enter the IP/mask and set the policy. Finally, press the “Append” button.

2g.  Inserting a Rule 

Enter the rule number and the IP/mask. Set the policy. Finally, press the 

“Insert” button

2h.  Replacing a Rule 

Enter the rule number and the IP/mask. Set the policy. Finally, press the 

“Replace” button.

2i.   Deleting a Rule 

Enter the rule number and press the “Delete” button.

3.   User Blocking 

The user-blocking mechanism allows the administrator to disable the login of a 

certain user if his or her password was entered incorrectly a specific number of 

times. The duration of the blocking is also configurable.

3a.  Maximum Number of Failed Logins 

Enter the maximum number of failed login attempts after which  

a user should be blocked. Leave this field empty to disable the  

user-blocking feature.

3b.  Block Time 

The number of minutes the user is blocked after he or she has exceeded 

the maximum number of failed login attempts. Leave this field empty to 

block this user until he or she is manually unblocked.

 Unblocking Users  

There are two possibilities to unblock a blocked user:

 

 

 •   A parent user may go to the user-management settings (see the “User 

Management” section) and press the “Unblock” button for the user.

 

 

•  An administrator may use the serial console for the initial configuration 

and log in as the user “unblock”. The RIPM will ask for the administrator 

password and present a list of blocked users who may be unblocked.
