Configuring The Access Profile Table

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 two Access Profile Configuration
pages − one for Ethernet (or MAC address-based) profile configuration, and one for IP
address-based profile configuration. You can switch between the two Access Profile
Configuration pages by using the Type drop-down menu, and clicking on the Apply button.
The page shown below is the Ethernet Access Profile Configuration page.
