ZyXEL Communications ISG50 User Manual

 Chapter 44 User/Group

ISG50 User’s Guide

By default, users do not have to log into the ISG50 to use the network services it provides.  The 
ISG50 automatically routes packets for everyone. If you want to restrict network services that 
certain users can use via the ISG50, you can require them to log in to the ISG50 first. The ISG50 is 
then ‘aware’ of the user who is logged in and you can create ‘user-aware policies’ that define what 
services they can use. See 

 for a user-aware login example.

• See 

 for some information on users who use an external authentication 

server in order to log in.

• See 

 for an example of configuring user accounts and user groups as 

part of user-aware access control. 

• See 

 for an example of how to use a RADIUS server to authenticate user 

accounts based on groups.
