HP (Hewlett-Packard) MSM7XX Switch User Manual


 
Working with public access attributes
Colubris AV-Pair attribute - Site values
Default setting
By default no access lists are defined. This means that:
If authentication (802.1X, WPA, HTML, MAC) is not enabled on a VSC, all users that
connect to the VSC have access to the protected network.
If authentication (802.1X, WPA, HTML, MAC) is enabled on a VSC, then:
Unauthenticated users only reach the public access login page. Access to the
protected network is blocked, except for register.procurve.com which enables
product registration.
Authenticated users have access to the protected network.
Note If you only enable MAC-based authentication on a VSC, wired users are not required to
authenticate and gain access to the protected network. In this case it is important to restrict
network access with the appropriate access list definition.
How the access lists work
Access lists can be applied on the service controller (site access lists), in which case they
affect all user traffic, or individually for each user account (user access lists).
Incoming traffic cascades through the currently active lists. Traffic that is accepted or denied
by a list is not available to the list that follows it. Traffic that passes through all lists without
being accepted or denied is dropped.
Access list rules that accept traffic are: ACCEPT, ACCEPT-MORE, DNAT-SERVER, and
REDIRECT.
Access list rules that deny traffic are: DENY and WARN.
