Management Access Profile Rules

 

Use the Management Access Profile Rules page to define a profile and rules for

 

accessing the device for management purposes.

 

You can limit access to specific user names, ingress ports or LAGs, and source IP

 

addresses.

 

To display this page, click Security > Management Access Profile Rules in the

 

navigation window.

 

The Access Profile Table lists the profile name of the currently configured profile, if

 

one exists. The Profile Rule Table shows the existing rules for the profile. By

 

default, no access profiles and rules are configured on the switch. You can create

 

and enable only one profile and all the rules you create are assigned to that profile.

 

Configuring an Access Profile and Rules

 

To create an access profile and assign rules to it:

 

 

STEP 1

In the Access Profile Table, click Add.

STEP 2

Specify the Access Profile Name and select Enable.

STEP 3

Click Apply and then click Close.

 

The new profile appears in the Access Profile Table. Next, add the rules to the

 

profile.

STEP 4

In the Profile Rule table, click Add.

STEP 5

Specify any of the following parameters to restrict or allow access:

 

Rule Priority—The rules are validated against the incoming management

 

request in the ascending order of their priorities. If a rule matches, the

 

specified action is performed and rules below are ignored. For example, if

 

you configure Source IP 10.10.10.10 with priority 1 to Permit, and configure

 

Source IP 10.10.10.10 with priority 2 to Deny, then access is permitted to this

 

IP address when the profile is active, and the second rule is ignored. The

 

range is 1 to 16, with 1 having the highest priority.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
