HPE FlexNetwork MSR Series User Manual

Configuring user groups
You can add hosts in a LAN to a user group and perform access control, application control,
bandwidth control, and packet filtering on a per user group basis.
• Access control—Allows you to deny access from hosts during specific time ranges. All data
packets matching these criteria will be denied access to the Internet.
• Application control—Allows you to restrict access to a specific application or protocol (such
as Telnet, DNS, SIP, and HTTP) on the Internet from users in a user group. You can perform
application control based on a user group or all users. For more information about application
control, see "Configuring application control."
• Bandwidth control—Allows you to control the bandwidth consumption based on user group. It
evaluates traffic with token buckets and drops unqualified packets.
• Packet filtering—Allows you to filter packets that match specific criteria such as the protocol,
destination IP address, source port, and destination port on a per user group basis.
