Access Control
The Access Control feature allows you to configure settings that control management access
to the switch.. Access Control configure requires three steps:
1. Use the Access Profile Configuration page to create an access profile. To add rules to
the profile, the access profile must be deactivated, which is the default setting.
2. Use the Access Rule Configuration page to add one or more access rules to the profile.
3. Return to the Access Profile Configuration page to activate the profile.
The access profile is similar to an access control list (ACL) in that you can add multiple rules
to the profile that permit or deny access to the switch by protocols transmitted by specific IP
addresses.
From the Access Control link, you can access the following pages:
• Access Profile Configuration on page 384
