Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.6 and later
  • HTTPS
  • ONTAP System Manager

Answer

Yes, it is possible.

  • To restrict HTTPS, use a service policy.
    1. ::>set adv -conf off
    2. ::*>network interface service-policy show
    3. ::*>network interface service-policy modify-service -vserver <SVM> -policy <policy for management lif> -service management-https -allowed-addresses <ipaddress/netmask>
  • Restricting HTTPS allows the followings:
    • Restricting the clients that can access ONTAP System Manager.
    • Restricting Active IQ Unified Manager that can monitor ONTAP.
    • Restricting clients that can execute the REST APIs.

Notes:

  • By restricting access, connections from sources other than the allowed clients are blocked.
  • If the address range specification is incorrect, clients that need access to ONTAP may also be blocked.
  • Carefully specify the clients that require HTTPS access.
