group will cause the switch to refuse all logins from other switches. To add a

1. On the faceplate display, click the Security button on the toolbar, or open
the Security menu and select Edit Security to open the Edit Security dialog.
2. Choose one of the following methods to open the Create a Security Group
dialog:
In the graphic window, click a security set and click the Security
Group button in the toolbar.
Right-click on a security set and select Create a Security Group from
the popup menu.
