5.1.1.1 Defining Access Profiles

Access profiles are profiles and rules for accessing the device. Access to management functions can be limited to user
groups. User groups are defined for interfaces according to IP addresses or IP subnets. Access profiles contain management
methods for accessing and managing the device. The device management methods include:

All
Telnet
Secure Telnet (SSH)
HTTP

Management access to different management methods may differ between user groups. For example, User Group 1 can
access the switch module only via an HTTPS session, while User Group 2 can access the switch module via both HTTPS
and Telnet sessions. The Access Profile Page contains the currently configured access profiles and their activity status.

Assigning an access profile to an interface denies access via other interfaces. If an access profile is assigned to any interface,
the device can be accessed by all interfaces.

To configure access profiles:
1. Click

System > Management Security > Authentication > Access Profiles. The Access Profile Page opens:
