Assuming the IP address you want to whitelist is 192.0.2.55:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow from 192.0.2.55" dir=in action=allow protocol=ANY remoteip=192.0.2.55

Also, don't forget to disable all of the other allow rules or connections will still make it through from them. – Jay R. Oct 06 '15 at 18:50
