Enabling management traffic on an interface adds additional rules to the exception filter, which opens
up the well-known IP(TCP/UDP) ports, corresponding to the HTTPS, SSH, and SNMP applications.
The port-based built-in exception filtering rules, in the case of traffic from WM-AD users, are applicable
to traffic targeted directly for the WM-AD interface. For example, a WM-AD filter may be generic
enough to allow traffic access to the Summit WM series switch's management (for example, Allow All
[*.*.*.*]). Exception filter rules are evaluated after the user's WM-AD assigned filter policy, as such, it is
possible that the WM-AD policy allow the access to management functions that the exception filter
denies. These packets are dropped.
To enable SSH, HTTPS, or SNMP access through a data interface:
1 From the main menu, click Summit Switch Configuration. The Summit WM series switch
Configuration screen is displayed.
2 In the left pane, click IP Addresses. The Management Port Settings screen is displayed.
3 Select the appropriate interface in the IP Addresses screen.
4 Select the corresponding Management checkbox.
5 To save your changes, click Save.
User defined port-based exception filters
You can add specific filtering rules at the port level in addition to the built-in rules. Such rules give you
the capability of restricting access to a port, for specific reasons, such as a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
