> # Network Tab of Administration Server Configuration

> Use this panel to manage Administration Server network settings and to specify hosts that are allowed to connect to the Administration Server.

> ## Process Settings

> The process settings determine how the Administration Server interacts with the host system.

> Port. Enter the port number you want the Administration Server to use. The port number can be any number between 1 and 65535, and by default it is the number chosen at installation.

> IP Address. Enter the IP address you want the server to use for incoming requests and connections.

> Server UID (UNIX only). Enter the system user whose system permissions the Administration Server executable will inherit. The server UID was chosen at installation and is root by default.

> ## Connection Restrictions

> These settings limit the connections to the Administration Server based on the hostname or IP address where the request originated. You can increase security by restricting access to only those hosts with servers in your topology.

> Use the drop-down list to indicate the contents of the table:

> - Hostnames to Allow - The table contains hostnames and hostname filters.

> - IP Addresses to Allow - The table contains a list of IP addresses and address filters.

> Regardless of which item is selected, both hostname and IP address restrictions are enforced. Requests from hosts that do not match one of the table entries will be rejected. Hostname restrictions will be evaluated first, and IP address restrictions can be used to further restrict access.

> The following buttons apply to either hostname or IP address restrictions, according to the list that is currently displayed in the table:

> Add. Click this button to add a new hostname or IP address to the list of allowed connections.

> Edit. Select an entry in the table and click this button to modify the hostname, IP address or filter in its definition.

> Remove. Select an entry in the table and click this button to delete it from the list of allowed hosts.
