Defining Access Profiles
Access profiles determine how to authenticate and authorize users accessing the switch through various access methods. Access Profiles can limit management access from specific sources.
Only users who pass both the active access profile and the management access authentication methods are given management access to the switch.
There can only be a single access profile active on the switch at one time.
Access profiles consist of one or more rules. The rules are executed in order of their priority within the access profile (top to bottom).
Rules are composed of filters that include the following elements:
- Access Methods--Methods for accessing and managing the switch:
- Action--Permit or deny access to an interface or source address.
- Interface--Which ports, LAGs, or VLANs are permitted to access or are denied access to the web-based switch configuration utility.
- Source IP Address--IP addresses or subnets that are allowed access.
