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 contain management methods for accessing and managing the device. The device
management methods include:
• All
• Telnet
• Secure Telnet (SSH)
• HTTP
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 define access profiles:
1. Click Security Suite > Access Method > Access Profiles. The Access Profiles Page opens:
