Management Access Profile Rules

 

 

 

 

 

To limit access to the web-based switch configuration utility only to specified users, for example, you can create a rule in which HTTP access is denied to all users, and then create another rule in which specific users are permitted. The rule that permits the specific users must have a higher Rule Priority than the rule that denies all users.

CAUTION: If a profile is activated that denies access to an intranet or domain where a current web management session is active, the session remains active until logout or timeout. Future sessions are blocked by the profile. Active sessions using Internet Explorer 8 are terminated immediately unless the switch management IP address is added to the Local Intranet Sites list in Internet Explorer. See Starting the Web-Based Switch Configuration Utility for instructions.

Action—Select the action to be performed when the rules criteria is matched.

-Permit—The specified interface, user, or IP address is permitted access to the switch that would otherwise be explicitly forbidden by a deny rule.

-Deny—The specified interface, user, or IP address is denied access to the switch.

Applies to Interface—Select All to apply this rule to all interfaces (ports and LAGs). Or, select User Defined and select the port or LAG that the rule applies to.

Applies to User—Select All to apply this rule to all system users. Or, select User Defined and select a User Name that the rule applies to.

Applies to Source IP Address—Select All to apply the rule to any source IP addresses. Or select User Defined and specify a source IPv4 address and mask that this rule applies to.

STEP 6 Click Apply and then click Close. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

The new rule appears in the Profile Rule Table. You can select the rule and click

Edit to modify it or click Delete to remove it from the access profile.

NOTE User cisco will not be denied management access.

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.
