Configuring Access Profiles

IDM uses an Access Profile to set the VLAN, QoS, and Bandwidth (rate-limits)
that are applied to the user when they are authenticated on the network. This
is where the real benefits of "access control" are realized. When users log in,
the Access Profile dynamically configures the switch settings to provide the
proper network access and resources.

To begin, click the "Show Access Profiles" icon on the Global toolbar to display
the Access Profiles window.

The Access Profiles window lists defined Access Profiles. Click the Access
Profile node on the left to display the details, including:

Name

Name used to identify the profile

Description

Brief description of the profile

VLAN

VLAN the access is set for.

QoS

The "Quality of Service" setting

Bandwidth

The rate limits for outbound traffic

The Access Profile tells the switch to override any local settings for the port
the user is accessing with the settings specified in IDM.
