Blocking a Specific IP Address

[Cory]

Hi,

What is the quickest/easiest way to totally block a specific IP Address from accessing my Xserve in any way? Firewall, DNS? How to steps would be nice.

Thanks in advance,

Cory

MacTroll,

What I did was as follows in Server Admin, Firewall, Advanced tab:

Action: Deny
Protocal: Other…ip
Service: (left it at default IGMP)

Source:
Address: Other…xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP I wanted to block)
Port: (blank)

Destination:
Address: Other…any in
Port: (blank)
Interface: Other…(blank)

Hit OK.

Restarted Firewall.

Sound good? Seems to be keeping them out. Should I copy this and add for TCP and UDP as well?

Thanks,

Cory

All access from a particular IP…can I change the IGMP to Other…and add any? Would that block all, or do I need a rule for TCP and UDP also?
