ProSafe M5300 Switch
1. To add an access profile rule, configure the following settings and click Add.
• Rule Type: Specify whether the rule permits or denies access to the ProSafe M5300
management interface.
• Select Permit to allow access to the management interface for traffic that meets
the criteria you configure for the rule. Any traffic that does not meet the rules is
denied.
• Select Deny to prohibit access to the management interface for traffic that meets
the criteria you configure for the rule. Any traffic that does not meet the rules is
allowed access to the switch. Unlike MAC ACLs and IP ACLs, there is no implied
deny all rule at the end of the rule list.
• Service Type. Select the type of service to allow or prohibit from accessing the switch
management interface:
• SNMP
• HTTP
• HTTPS
• Source IP Address. Specify the IP Address of the client originating the management
traffic.
• Mask. Specify the subnet mask associated with the IP address. The subnet mask is a
standard subnet mask, and not an inverse (wildcard) mask that you use with IP ACLs.
• Priority. Configure priority to the rule. The rules are validated against the incoming
management request in the ascending order of their priorities. If a rule matches,
action is performed and subsequent rules below are ignored. For example, if a Source
IP 10.10.10.10 is configured with priority 1 to permit, and Source IP 10.10.10.10 is
configured with priority 2 to Deny, then access is permitted if the profile is active, and
the second rule is ignored.
2. To modify an access rule, select the check box next to the Rule Type, update the desired
settings, and click APPLY
3. To delete an access rule, select the check box next to the Rule Type, and click DELETE.
4. Click CANCEL to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to
the latest value of the switch.
Port Authentication
In port-based authentication mode, when 802.1X is enabled globally and on the port,
successful authentication of any one supplicant attached to the port results in all users being
able to use the port without restrictions. At any given time, only one supplicant is allowed to
attempt authentication on a port in this mode. Ports in this mode are under bidirectional
control. This is the default authentication mode.
The 802.1X network has three components:
• Authenticators - Specifies the port that is authenticated before permitting system
access.
