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

three Access Profile Configuration pages; one for Ethernet (or MAC address-based) profile configuration, one for IP address-based profile configuration

and one for the Packet Content Mask.You can switch between the three Access Profile Configuration pages by using the Type drop-down menu.

The page shown below is the Ethernet Access Profile Configuration page.
