Configuring Access Profiles
Configuring Access Profiles
IDM uses an Access Profile to set the VLAN, QoS, Bandwidth (rate-limits) and
Network Resource access rules 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 or wireless access point settings to provide the proper
network access and resources for the user.
To begin, click the
Access Profiles node in the Identity Management Configuration
navigation tree to display the Access Profiles window.
The Access Profiles window lists defined Access Profiles, including:
The Access Profile tells the switch to override any local settings for the port
the user is accessing with the settings specified in IDM.
Name Name used to identify the profile
VLAN VLAN to which users are assigned when they log in
QoS The "Quality of Service" setting
Bandwidth The rate limits for outbound traffic
Description Brief description of the profile
