### Permission Setting (AMF Security WebAPI)

When the AMF Security server (AMF-Sec or AMF Security mini) receives a threat event, it queries the AWC plug-in for the MAC address from the IP address of the threat device via Web API.
Register the IP address of the AMF Security server that you want to allow access to in order to respond only to inquiries from legitimate AMF Security servers.
AMF Security Server IP addresses can be registered up to 1,024 entries.
