Add A Rule To The Access Profile - NETGEAR GS418TPP User Manual

8-Port or 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Model GS418TPP, GS510TLP, and GS510TPP

Add a rule to the access profile

After you add the access profile, you can add one or more security access rules to the access
profile.
If you access the switch from a computer, make sure that you add a permit rule for the type of
service that you use (for example, HTTPS), your computer's IP address, and your computer's
subnet mask.
CAUTION:
You must add a permit rule for your device and access method, otherwise
you are locked out from the switch after you activate the access profile. If
that situation occurs, you must reset the switch to factory default settings
(see Reset the switch to its factory default settings on page 422).
To add a rule to the access profile:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the default IP address of the
switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Security > Access > Access Control > Access Rule Configuration.
6. From the Rule Type menu, select Permit or Deny to permit or deny access when the
selected rules are matched.
A Permit rule allows access from a device that matches the rule criteria. A Deny rule
blocks a device that matches the rule criteria.
7. From the Service Type menu, select the access method to which the rule is applied.
