Management Access Control and Administration List
Use the Management Access List Configuration page to create and configure a management access list
to help secure access to the switch management features. The Management Access Control and
Administration List (MACAL) feature is used to ensure that only known and trusted devices are allowed
to remotely manage the switch via TCP/IP.
This page provides the capability to add, edit, and remove MACALs. MACALs can be applied only to in-
band ports and cannot be applied to the service port.
