Configuring Management Access Methods
Management access authentication configures the authentication methods to be 
used to authenticate and authorize users from different management access 
methods (see Configuring Management Access Authentication for more 
details). Management access profiles limit management access from specific 
sources.
Only users who pass both the active access profile and management access 
authentication are given management access to the switch.

Access Profile Rules, Filters, and Elements
Access profiles consist of rules for allowing access to the switch. Each access 
profile can consist of one or more rules. The rules are executed in order of their 
priority within the access profile (top to bottom).

• Access Methods—Methods for accessing and managing the switch:
- Te l n e t

- Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
- Secure HTTP (HTTPS)
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- All of the above
• Action—Permits or denies access to an interface or source address.
• Interface—Which ports or LAGs are permitted to access or denied access 
to the web-based interface.
