Configuring The Access Profile Table

Access profiles allow you to establish criteria to determine whether or not the Switch will forward packets based
on the information contained in each packet's header. These criteria can be specified on a basis of VLAN, MAC
address or IP address.
Creating an access profile is divided into two basic parts. The first is to specify which part or parts of a frame the
Switch will examine, such as the MAC source address or the IP destination address. The second part is entering
the criteria the Switch will use to determine what to do with the frame. The entire process is described below in
two parts.
To display the currently configured Access Profiles on the Switch, open the Configuration folder and click on
the Access Profile Table link. This will open the Access Profile Table page, as shown below.
To add an entry to the Access Profile Table, click the Add button. This will open the Access Profile
Configuration page, as shown below. There are two Access Profile Configuration pages − one for Ethernet
(or MAC address-based) profile configuration, and one for IP address-based profile configuration. You can
switch between the two Access Profile Configuration pages by using the Type drop-down menu, and clicking
on the Apply button. The page shown below is the Ethernet Access Profile Configuration page.
The following parameters can be set, for Ethernet:
