Note：The Configuration procedures are the same based on the old Web GUI, although the old Web GUI looks different. The configuration page in the old Web GUI is as the following figure shows.

Introduction：

You can configure Access Control to allow only specific users to access the switch and block the others. Access Control can work in three modes: IP-based Mode, MAC-based Mode and Port-based Mode.

Configuration：

Here, we take the new Web GUI for example.

  • IP-based Mode

Choose the menu Security > Access Security > Access Control to load the following page. In the Global Config section, enable Access Control. Select the control mode as IP-based from the drop-down list. Click Apply.

In the Entry Config section, click to load the following page. Select the desired access interface from the drop-down list. For example, if you want to control users’ access to Web GUI, you can select HTTP and HTTPS. Enter the IP address and mask of the users that you want to allow. For example, if you want to allow users only in the subnet of 192.168.1.0/24,specify the IP address as 192.168.1.0 and mask as 255.255.255.0. Click Create. Now, only the users of specific IP address can access the switch.

Note: If you want to allow only one user of specific IP address, enter the desired IP address and specify the mask as 255.255.255.255.

  • MAC-based Mode

Choose the menu Security > Access Security > Access Control to load the following page. In the Global Config section, enable Access Control. Select the control mode as MAC-based from the drop-down list. Click Apply.

 

In the Entry Config section, click to load the following page. Select the desired access interface from the drop-down list. For example, if you want to control users’ access to Web GUI, you can select HTTP and HTTPS. Enter the MAC address of the users that you want to allow. Click Create. Now, only the users of specific MAC address can access the switch.

  • Port-based Mode

Choose the menu Security > Access Security > Access Control to load the following page. In the Global Config section, enable Access Control. Select the control mode as Port-based from the drop-down list. Click Apply.

 

In the Entry Config section, click to load the following page. Select the desired access interface from the drop-down list. For example, if you want to control users’ access to Web GUI, you can select HTTP and HTTPS. Select desired ports. Click Create. Now, only the users that are connected to the specific ports can access the switch.
