Replace ToS Precedence 
Specify that the IP precedence of the outgoing packet is changed with the new 
value. If used without an action priority, the packet is sent to the default TC. 
Time Range Name 
Tick the check box and enter the name of the Time Range settings that has been 
previously configured in the Time Range Settings window. This will set specific 
times when this access rule will be implemented on the Switch. 
Counter 
Here the user can select the counter. By checking the counter, the administrator 
can see how many times that the rule was hit. 
Ports 
When a range of ports is to be configured, the Auto Assign check box MUST be 
ticked in the Access ID field of this window. If not, the user will be presented with 
an error message and the access rule will not be configured. Ticking the All Ports 
check box will denote all ports on the Switch. 
Specify the VLAN name to apply to the access rule. 
Specify the VLAN ID to apply to the access rule. 
Click the Apply button to accept the changes made.

CPU Access Profile List 
Due to a chipset limitation and needed extra switch security, the Switch incorporates CPU Interface filtering. This 
added feature increases the running security of the Switch by enabling the user to create a list of access rules for 
packets destined for the Switch’s CPU interface. Employed similarly to the Access Profile feature previously 
mentioned, CPU interface filtering examines Ethernet, IP and Packet Content Mask packet headers destined for 
the CPU and will either forward them or filter them, based on the user’s implementation. As an added feature for 
the CPU Filtering, the Switch allows the CPU filtering mechanism to be enabled or disabled globally, permitting the 
user to create various lists of rules without immediately enabling them. 
 
 
NOTE: CPU Interface Filtering is used to control traffic access to the switch directly such as protocols 
transition or management access. A CPU interface filtering rule won’t impact normal L2/3 traffic 
forwarding. However, an improper CPU interface filtering rule may cause the network to

Creating an access profile for the CPU is divided into two basic parts. The first is to specify which part or parts of a 
frame the Switch will examine, such as the MAC source address or the IP destination address. The second part is 
entering the criteria the Switch will use to determine what to do with the frame. The entire process is described 
below.
