Active Access Profile
The
Access Profiles
page displays the access profiles that are defined and
enables selecting one access profile to be the active one.
When a user attempts to access the switch through an access method, the switch
looks to see if the active access profile explicitly permits management access to
the switch through this method. If no match is found, access is denied.
When an attempt to access the switch is in violation of the active access profile,
the switch generates a SYSLOG message to alert the system administrator of the
attempt.
For more information see

Use the
Access Profiles
page to create an access profile and to add its first rule. If
the access profile only contains a single rule, you are finished. To add additional
rules to the profile, use the Profile Rules page.
