Restricting Access to the Machine (IPv6)

If you are using this machine on a network environment, there is a possibility that your machine may be accessed by unauthorized users with ill intent. By restricting the IP addresses that can access the machine, you can reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
This section describes how to only allow computers with the IPv6 prefix address fec0:0:0:1::1234/64 to view and specify machine settings via the IPv6 network using the Remote UI or application software.
The screens may differ, depending on the model of the machine and on attached optional products.

Reference Information

Checking the Access Log
You can check the log of transmissions from this machine to a machine with an authorized IP address, and the access log from machines with authorized IP addresses. The log can store up to 100 transmissions. Follow the procedures below to check the log.
Press (Settings/Registration) → [Preferences] → [Network] → [Firewall Settings] → [IP Address Block Log].
You can save the log in CSV format using the Remote UI.
Click [Settings/Registration] → [Preferences] → [Network] → [IP Address Block Log].
MAC Address Filter
MAC Address is a unique ID number for network machines. The address does not change even if the IP address is changed. In addition to the IP address, you can set the Send Filter as well as the Receive Filter for the MAC Address. Follow the procedures below to set the filter for the MAC Address.
Press (Settings/Registration) → [Preferences] → [Network] → [Firewall Settings] → [MAC Address Filter].
Specifying the TX Destination Domain
You can restrict the domain for where e-mails can be sent. You can help prevent leakage of confidential information by allowing e-mails to be sent only to an e-mail address with a specified domain. Follow the procedures below to specify the TX Destination Domain.
Press (Settings/Registration) → [Function Settings] → [Send] → [E-Mail/I-FAX Settings] → [Restrict TX Destination Domain].
