ports as protected or unprotected.

To configure protected ports:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.

4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login

button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.

The System Information page displays.

5. Select Security > Traffic Control > Protected Ports.

The Protected Ports page displays.

6. From the Group ID list, select 0, 1, or 2 to combine the selected protected ports in

a logical group.
