MULTI-LAYER SECURITY
With networks under constant attack from the outside world and even from within the company, a network needs to provide easy access to users and resources, yet possess extensive security features that can be managed across a global enterprise.
The OS9000s provide multi-layer security with a range of security features that can be implemented in the wiring closet, the core, and throughout the network. These include:
User authentication
Virtual local area networks (VLANs)
Quarantine VLANs
Access control lists (ACLs)
Capable of filtering unexpected control traffic (BPDU, RIP, OSPF, BGP) from user ports
Prevents IP source address spoofing
Authenticated switch access
Encryption for secure management (SSHv2 / HTTPs / SNMPv3)
Denial of service protection
Multi-layer security enables the building of sophisticated hardware and software-based solutions that can be integrated with policy-based management and other technologies such as smart cards, PKI, and biometrics for enhanced security implementations. For secure management there are many features integrated into the architecture including authenticated user access, SNMPv3 and SSL for encrypted sessions, and partitioned management for multi- tiered access and granular network administration.
