Defining Profile Rules
Access profiles can contain up to 128 rules that determine which users can manage the device module, and by
which methods. Users can also be blocked from accessing the device. Rules are composed of filters including:
•Rule Priority
•Interface
•Management Method
•IP Address
•Prefix Length
•Forwarding Action
To define profile rules:
1. Click Mgmt. Security > Profile Rules: The Profile Rules Page opens:
Figure 13: Profile Rules Page
•Access Profile Name — Displays the access profile to which the rule is attached.
•Priority — Defines the rule priority. When the packet is matched to a rule, user groups are either granted
permission or denied device management access. The rule number is essential to matching packets to rules,
as packets are matched on a first-fit basis.
•Interface — Indicates the interface type to which the rule applies. The possible field values are:
–Port — Attaches the rule to the selected port.
–LAG — Attaches the rule to the selected LAG.
–VLAN — Attaches the rule to the selected VLAN.
