User Management is a security feature which disallows any IP traffic (except DHCP-related
packets) from a particular host until that host has correctly supplied a valid username and
password. Instead of managing with IP address/MAC address, User Management function
manages hosts with user account. Network administrator can give different firewall policies
or rules for different hosts with different User Management accounts. This is more flexible
and convenient for network management. Not only offering the basic checking for Internet
access, User Management also provides additional firewall rules, e.g. CSM checking for
protecting hosts.
Info Filter rules configured under Firewall usually are applied to the host (the
one that the router installed) only. With user management, the rules can be
applied to every user connected to the router with customized profiles.
