Access Profile Table
Access profiles allow you to establish criteria to determine whether the Switch will forward packets based on the information
contained in each packet's header. These criteria can be specified on a basis of VLAN, MAC address or IP address.
Creating an access profile 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 in two parts.
To display the currently configured Access Profiles on the Switch, open the ACL folder and click on the Access Profile Table
link. This will open the Access Profile Table page, as shown below.

To add an entry to the Access Profile Table, click the Add Profile button. This will open the Access Profile Configuration page,
as shown below. There are three Access Profile Configuration pages; one for Ethernet (or MAC address-based) profile
configuration, one for IP address-based profile configuration and one IPv6. You can switch between the three Access Profile
Configuration pages by using the Type drop-down menu. The page shown below is the Ethernet Access Profile Configuration
page. To remove all access profiles from this table, click Clear All.
