Whitelisting IP addresses - Network architecture

Created by Qiang Zheng, Modified on Tue, 31 May, 2022 at 2:11 PM by Qiang Zheng

It is not possible to give out fixed IP addresses of the Salto KS back-end to which the IQ's connect. The Salto KS back-end is dynamically hosted and scales up/down based on number of requests and connected IQ's. You can compare this to for example going to gmail.com or any other popular website. When connecting you're not sure to which server you're forwarded.

However what some of our customers do, they implement whitelisting on IQ mac address. Which means they only allow IQ mac addresses that are whitelisted to connect to the outside world.

If MAB is used in the network (MAC Authentication Bypass), it would be necessary to whitelist MAC addresses of the IQs (which do not support 802.1X) in the network authentication back-end, allowing the IQs to connect without further authentication.


We would advice the customer to look into this option. There is no way to whitelist IP's of our back-end services.
