Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch Administration Guide
To change the active access profile, select a profile from the Active Access
Profile drop down menu and click Apply. This makes the chosen profile the active
access profile.
A caution message is displayed if you selected Console Only. If you continue, you
are immediately disconnected from the web-based switch configuration utility
and can access the switch only through the console port.
A caution message displays if you selected any other access profile, warning you
that, depending on the selected access profile, you might be disconnected from
the web-based switch configuration utility.
Click OK to select the active access profile or click Cancel to discontinue the
action.
Click Add to open the Add Access Profile Page. The page allows you to configure
a new profile and one rule. Go to the
instructions on how to construct a rule.
Enter the parameters.
•
Access Profile Name—Enter an access profile name. The access profile
name can contain up to 32 characters.
•
Rule Priority—Enter the rule priority. When the packet is matched to a rule,
user groups are either granted or denied access to the switch. The rule
priority is essential to matching packets to rules, as packets are matched on
a first-match basis. One is the highest priority.
•
Management Method—Select the management method for which the rule
is defined. Users with this access profile can only access the switch by using
the management method selected. The options are:
-
All—Assigns all management methods to the rule.
-
Telnet—Users requesting access to the switch who meet the Telnet
access profile criteria are permitted or denied access.
-
Secure Telnet (SSH)—Users requesting access to the switch who meet
the SSH access profile criteria, are permitted or denied access.
-
HTTP—Assigns HTTP access to the rule. Users requesting access to the
switch who meet the HTTP access profile criteria, are permitted or
denied.
-
Secure HTTP (HTTPS)—Users requesting access to the switch who
meet the HTTPS access profile criteria, are permitted or denied.
