Add a rule to an access rule profile
After you add the access profile, you can add one or more security access rules to the
access profile.
If you access the switch from a computer, make sure that you add a permit rule for the type of
service that you use (for example, HTTPS), your computer’s IP address, and your
computer’s subnet mask.
CAUTION:
You must add a permit rule for your device and access method, otherwise
you are locked out from the switch after you activate the access profile. If
that situation occurs, you must reset the switch to factory default settings
(see
Reset the switch to its factory default settings on page 375).
To add a rule to the access profile:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on
page 14.
The Local Device Login page displays.
If you did not yet register the switch with your NETGEAR account, the Register to unlock
all features page displays. For more information, see
Register and access the switch with
your NETGEAR account on page 29.
4. Enter one of the following passwords:
• After registration, enter your customized local device password.
• If you previously added the switch to an Insight network location, enter the Insight
network password.
For more information about the local device password and the Insight network password,
see
Credentials for the local browser UI on page 28.
5. Click the Login button.
The System Information page displays.
6. Select Security > Access > Access Control > Access Rule Configuration.
The Access Rule Configuration page displays.
7. From the Rule Type menu, select Permit or Deny to permit or deny access when the
selected rules are matched.
