Rules
Access profiles can contain up to 128 rules that determine which users can manage the switch
module, and by which methods. Users can also be blocked from accessing the device. Rules are
composed of filters including:
• Rule Priority
• Interface
• Management Method
• IP Address
• Prefix Length
• Forwarding Action
Profile Rules Page
The
Profile Rules Page
contains the following fields:
•
Access Profile Name
— Displays the access profile to which the rule is attached.
•
Priority
— Defines the rule priority. When the packet is matched to a rule, user groups are
either granted permission or denied device management access. The rule number is
essential to matching packets to rules, as packets are matched on a first-fit basis.
•
Interface
— Indicates the interface type to which the rule applies. The possible field values
are:
–
Port
— Attaches the rule to the selected port.
–
LAG
— Attaches the rule to the selected LAG.
