There is a MAC Security Configuration function for port security. If it set to the Accept

mode, only the static MAC addresses can access the network through the assigned port.

The other MAC addresses will be denied network access through that port. This function

can be used for port binding security.

IEEE 802.1x Port Security Function

If the 802.1x function is enabled, the switch will act as an authenticator for users accessing

the network through the switch. A RADIUS server is required for authentication. Users will

be prompted for username and password before being granted network access. If the

RADIUS server authenticates the login, the switch will enable the port for network access.

This function is very useful for network security to prevent illegal users from accessing the

network through the switch.

This switch supports MD5, TLS and PEAP authentication types.

Rate Control

This function can limit the burst traffic rate for physical ports. The traffic could be ingress

traffic or egress traffic. This function can protect the network bandwidth usage by users.

IP Multicast with IGMP Snooping

IP multicast function can forward packets to a group of users connected on different ports.

The user group is learned by the switch from the packets from the IGMP active router with

IGMP snooping function. It is often used for video applications.

Protected Port

This function can protect a port from communicating with other ports. If these ports are in

the same VLAN, this protection is still valid. For example, Ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 are marked

as protected ports.

communicate with the other ports. This is for port isolation though they are in the same

VLAN.

Software Backup/Update

The 2600 switch supports backup and update functions for its internal software and network

configuration. It can be done one of the following ways:

From Console during the boot up process: Xmodem protocol and by terminal program

for boot code and run-time code updating.

From Console/Telnet when running: Use TFTP protocol with TFTP server for run-time

code and configuration backup/update.

From Web Browser: Use HTTP protocol for run-time code and configuration backup.
