Configuring Locations
Configuring Locations
Locations in IDM identify the switch and/or ports on the switch where users
connect to the network. Because users generally are allowed to log in to the
network from a variety of locations, IDM allows you to create customized
locations to match specific environments.
For example, a generalized company "location" may include all of the ports on
a switch, or multiple switches through which users can connect to the net-
work. You can define a lobby location as a single switch, or a single port on
the switch, in order to restrict access to the network for visitors attaching to
the network in the lobby.
To begin, click the "Show Locations" icon in the Global toolbar to display the
"Locations" window.
