Configuring the Access Profile Table

Access profiles allow you to establish criteria to determine whether 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. To remove all access profiles from this table, click Clear All.
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 IPv6.
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.
The following parameters can be set, for the Ethernet type:
Parameter
Profile ID (1-6)
Type
VLAN
Source MAC

Description
Type in a unique identifier number for this profile set. This value can be set from 1 - 6.
Select profile based on Ethernet (MAC Address), IP or IPv6 address. This will change the
menu according to the requirements for the type of profile.
Select Ethernet to instruct the Switch to examine the layer 2 part of each packet header.
Select IP to instruct the Switch to examine the IP address in each frame's header.
Select IPv6 to instruct the Switch to examine the IPv6 address in each frame's header.
Selecting this option instructs the Switch to examine the VLAN identifier of each packet header
and use this as the full or partial criterion for forwarding.
Source MAC Mask - Enter a MAC address mask for the source MAC address.
