The access profile logging feature allows you to use an ACL (Access Control List) policy file or dynamic ACL rules to control access to SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) services on the switch.
When access profile logging is enabled for SNMP, the switch logs messages and increments counters when packets are denied access to SNMP. No messages are logged for permitted access.
You can manage SNMP access using one (not both) of the following methods:
One advantage of ACL policy files is that you can copy the file and use it on other switches. One advantage to applying individual ACL rules is that you can enter the rules at the CLI command prompt, which can be easier than opening, editing, and saving a policy file.
