User Awareness
By default, users do not have to log into the ISG50 to use the network services it provides. The
ISG50 automatically routes packets for everyone. If you want to restrict network services that
certain users can use via the ISG50, you can require them to log in to the ISG50 first. The ISG50 is
then ‘aware’ of the user who is logged in and you can create ‘user-aware policies’ that define what
services they can use. See Section 44.4.2 on page 609 for a user-aware login example.
