Access Profile - Linksys LGS308 User Manual

Access Profile

Access profiles determine how to authenticate and authorize users accessing the device through
various access methods. Access profiles can limit management access from specific sources.
Only users who pass both the active access profile and are authorized based on the
authentication methods that correspond to the access method are given management access to
the device. For more information, see
There can only be a single access profile active on the device at one time. Access profiles consist
