Defining Access Profiles
The Access Profiles page contains fields for defining profiles and rules for accessing the device. Access to
management functions can be limited to user groups, which are defined by ingress interfaces and source
IP address or source IP subnets.
Management access can be separately defined for each type of management access method, including
Web (HTTP), Secure Web (HTTPS), Telnet, and Secure Telnet.
Access to different management methods may differ between user groups. For example, User Group 1
can access the device only via an HTTPS session, while User Group 2 can access the device via both
HTTPS and Telnet sessions.
Management Access Lists contain up to 256 rules that determine which users can manage the device,
and by which methods. Users can also be blocked from accessing the device.
The Access Profiles page contains fields for configuring Management Lists and applying them to
specific interfaces.
