Figure 6-52. Add An Access Profile Page Access Profile Name (1-32 Characters) - User-defined name for the access profile. Rule Priority (1-65535) - The rule priority. When the packet is matched to a rule, user groups are either granted or denied device management access. The rule order is set by defining a rule number within the Profile Rules Table. The rule number is essential to matching packets to rules, as packets are matched on a first-fit basis. The rule priorities are assigned in the Profile Rules Table. Management Method - The management method for which the access profile is defined. Users with this access profile can access the device using the management method selected. Interface - The interface type to which the rule applies. This is an optional field. This rule can be applied to a selected port, LAG, or VLAN by selecting the check box and selecting the appropriate option button and interface. NOTE: Assigning an access profile to an interface denies access via other interfaces. If an access profile is not assigned to any interface, the device can be accessed by all interfaces. Source IP Address - The interface source IP address for which the rule applies. This is an optional field and indicates that the rule is valid for a subnetwork. Network Mask - The IP subnetwork mask. Prefix Length - The number of bits that comprise the source IP address prefix, or the network mask of the source IP address. Action - Defines whether to permit or deny management access to the defined interface. 3 Define the Access Profile Name field. 4 Define the relevant fields. 5 Click Apply Changes.
