Configuring Security Defining Management Access Method 17 • Source IP Address-IP addresses or subnets that are allowed access. Active Access Profile The Access Profiles page displays the access profiles that are defined and enables selecting one access profile to be the active one. When a user attempts to access the switch through an access method, the switch looks to see if the active access profile explicitly permits management access to the switch through this method. If no match is found, access is denied. When an attempt to access the switch is in violation of the active access profile, the switch generates a SYSLOG message to alert the system administrator of the attempt. For more information see Defining Profile Rules. Use the Access Profiles page to create an access profile and to add its first rule. If the access profile only contains a single rule, you are finished. To add additional rules to the profile, use the Profile Rules page. STEP 1 Click Security > Mgmt Access Method > Access Profiles. The Access Profiles page is displayed. This page displays all of the access profiles, active and inactive. STEP 2 To change the active access profile, select a profile from the Active Access Profile drop down menu and click Apply. This makes the chosen profile the active access profile. A caution message displays if you selected any other access profile, warning you that, depending on the selected access profile, you might be disconnected from the web-based switch configuration utility. STEP 3 Click OK to select the active access profile or click Cancel to discontinue the action. STEP 4 Click Add to open the Add Access Profile page. The page allows you to configure a new profile and one rule. STEP 5 Enter the Access Profile Name. This name can contain up to 32 characters. STEP 6 Enter the parameters.
