Configure IP Address Range Filters for Exam Access

System administrators with read-only or unrestricted access to the System Administration feature in System Roles (Manage Features > System Administration) can configure IP address range filters for exam access. Only participants whose IP address is within any of the ranges specified can access exam modules. You can configure as many IP address ranges as required.

You can enter the * (wildcard character) to represent any number for any of the four numbers in a starting or ending IP address. For example, 192.32.14.* represents any of the IP address starting with network address 192.32.14, of which there are 256 possible combinations of host address—the last number.

To configure IP address range filters for exam access

1. Go to Manage Center > System > Default IP Filter for Exams. The Default IP Filter for Exams page opens, listing any existing IP address ranges.
2. Enter the 4-figure starting IP address in the left-hand column.
3. Enter the ending IP address in the right-hand column.
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for up to five filters.
5. Click Save. The page refreshes to show that the filters have been updated.
6. Click Default IP Filter for Exams to return to the filters page. If all five filters were configured, another five empty filters are added to the list.
