Manage Switch Security User Manual292
A Permit rule allows access by traffic that matches the rule criteria. A Deny rule blocks
traffic that matches the rule criteria.
8. From the Service Type menu, select the access method to which the rule is applied.
The policy is restricted by the selected access method. The possible access methods are
TFTP, HTTP, Secure HTTP (SSL), and SNMP.
9. In the Source IP Address field, enter the source IP address of the client originating the
management traffic.
10. In the Mask field, specify the subnet mask of the client that originates the management
traffic.
11. In the Priority field, assign a priority to the rule.
The rules are validated against the incoming management request in ascending order of
their priorities. If a rule matches, the action is performed and subsequent rules are
ignored. For example, if a source IP 10.10.10.10 is configured with priority 1 to permit and
source IP 10.10.10.10 is configured with priority 2 to deny, access is permitted if the
profile is active, and the second rule is ignored.
12. Click the Add button.
The access rule is added.
Activate the access profile
After you add rules to the access profile, you can activate the access profile.
CAUTION:
If you configure a security access profile incorrectly and you activate the
access profile, you might no longer be able to access the switch’s local
browser UI. 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 activate 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.
