Will restricting Plesk port 8443 with hardware firewall cause issues?

Hey there, we have a hardware firewall and would like to restrict Plesk port 8443 to only certain IPs. Will this affect any Plesk services?

Of course, we could use the inbuilt Plesk 11 feature "Restrict Administrative Access" but I'd prefer to do it at the hardware level if it doesn't cause any issues.
 
:8443 is a control panel of Plesk. As long as your list of allowed IPs includes every user and service (i.e. billing) using or integrating Plesk - you should be fine.
