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 device through an access method, the device
looks to see if the active access profile explicitly permits management access to
the device through this method. If no match is found, access is denied.
When an attempt to access the device is in violation of the active access profile,
the device generates a SYSLOG message to alert the system administrator of the
attempt.
If a console-only access profile has been activated, the only way to deactivate it is
through a direct connection from the management station to the physical console
port on the device.
