8. In the Source IP Address field, enter the source IP address from which the management
traffic originates.
9. In the Mask field, specify the subnet mask from which the management traffic originates.

their priorities. If a rule matches, the action is performed and subsequent rules below that
rule are ignored. For example, if a source IP address 10.10.10.10 is configured with
priority 1 to permit, and the same source IP address 10.10.10.10 is also configured with
priority 2 to deny, then access is permitted if the profile is active, and the second rule is
ignored.
11. Click the Add button.
The access rule is added.

Activate the access profile

After you add rules to the access profile, you can activate the access profile.
CAUTION:
If you configure a security access profile incorrectly and you activate the
access profile, you might no longer be able to access the switch's local
browser interface. 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 activate 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.
