Access Profile Table
Configuring the Access Profile Table
Access profiles allow you to establish criteria to determine whether or not the Switch will forward packets based on the
information contained in each packet's header. These criteria can be specified on a basis of VLAN, MAC address or IP
address.
Creating an access profile is divided into two basic parts. The first is to specify which part or parts of a frame the Switch
will examine, such as the MAC source address or the IP destination address. The second part is entering the criteria the
Switch will use to determine what to do with the frame. The entire process is described below in two parts.
To display the currently configured Access Profiles on the Switch, open the Configuration folder and click on the Access
Profile Table link. This will open the Access Profile Table page, as shown below.

configuration, one for IP address-based profile configuration and one for the Packet Content Mask. You can switch
between the three Access Profile Configuration pages by using the Type drop-down menu. The page shown below is the
Ethernet Access Profile Configuration page.
