Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an
Port Based Authentication (802.1x)
Port based authentication enables authenticating system users on a
Locked Port Support
Locked Port increases network security by limiting access on a specific port only to users with specific MAC addresses. These addresses are either manually defined or learned on that port. When a frame is seen on a locked port, and the frame source MAC address is not tied to that port, the protection mechanism is invoked.
RADIUS Client
RADIUS is a
SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to an IBP Module. SSH version 1 and version 2 are currently supported. The SSH server feature enables an SSH client to establish a secure, encrypted connection with a IBP Module. This connection provides functionality that is similar to an inbound telnet connection. SSH uses RSA Public Key cryptography for IBP Module connections and authentication.
TACACS+
TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the IBP Module. TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and other authentication processes.
