Defining Access Profiles - D-Link Web Smart DES-3252P Install Manual

Defining Access Profiles

Access profiles are profiles and rules for accessing the device. Access to management functions can be limited to
user groups. User groups are defined for interfaces according to IP addresses or IP subnets. Access profiles con-
tain management methods for accessing and managing the device. The device management methods include:
•
All
•
Telnet
•
Secure Telnet (SSH)
•
HTTP
•
Secure HTTP (HTTPS)
•
SNMP
Management access to different management methods may differ between user groups. For example, User
Group 1 can access the switch module only via an HTTPS session, while User Group 2 can access the switch
module via both HTTPS and Telnet sessions. The Access Profile Page contains the currently configured access
profiles and their activity status.
Assigning an access profile to an interface denies access via other interfaces. If an access profile is assigned to
any interface, the device can be accessed by all interfaces. To configure access profiles:
1. Click System > Management Security > Authentication > Access Profiles. The Access Profile Page
opens.
