Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 manual Configuring Security

Security

Configurable violation response

You can still choose to allow ports to remain enabled even after an unsecured address has attempted to access a locked port. If you choose not to disable a port which has experienced a violation, however, the port’s only response to an intruder will be to issue a trap after the first violation; all packets, regardless of source address, will be allowed to pass.

Forced non-secure status

With the enhanced version of LANVIEWSECURE, even ports on non-

LANVIEWSECURE MIMS can be forced to an unsecurable status (as long as they are currently unlocked).

Learned addresses reset

You can still use the Reset Learned Addresses option in the repeater-, board-, or port-level Security window to clear all learned and secured addresses out of the selected port(s) address table, and allow that port to begin learning (and securing) new addresses. Note that you cannot reset learned addresses on a locked port or on a port which is designated unsecurable.

Eavesdrop protection (scrambling), trunk port locking, continuous lock mode, and the floating address cache are not available for non-LANVIEWSECUREMIMs (A-channel MIMs and non-LANVIEWSECURERIC MIMs) or for any LANVIEWSECURE TPXMIM ports configured to operate on Channel A.

Configuring Security

Most Security parameters are set via the port-level Security window; these will apply to the configured port regardless of the level at which security is enabled.

To access the Port Security window:

1.In the Repeater Security window, click to select the interface for which you would like to configure port-level security.

2.Click mouse button 1 on ; the Channel X Port Security window, Figure 7-2, will appear.
