Management Access Method
Access profiles determine how to authenticate and authorize users accessing the
device 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 device.
There can only be a single access profile active on the device 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 device:
-Tel n e t
-Secure Telnet (SSH)
-Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
-Secure HTTP (HTTPS)
-Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
-All of the above
•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 configuration utility.
