Creating Group−Based Access Control Rules
Group−based access control rules accept or drop traffic intended for the ePDU, based
on the user’s group membership. Like firewall rules, the order of the rule is important,
since the rules are executed in numerical order.
To create group−based access control rules:
1. Select Device Settings, and then select Security. The Security Settings page
displays. The panel labeled Group based System Access Control controls this
feature.
2. Make sure the Enable Group based System Access Control check box is selected.
3. Follow the steps listed in Table 4 to create or delete specific rules.
