Exiting the Supervisor Level

To exit the Supervisor level, type the command exit.

Entering the CLI

To enter the CLI, enter your username and password. Your access level is indicated in the prompt as follows:

The User level prompt is shown below:

Cajun_P330-N>

The Privileged level prompt is shown below:

Cajun_P330-N#

The Configure level prompt for Layer 3 configuration is shown below:

P330-N(configure)#

The Supervisor level prompt is shown below:

Cajun_P330-N(super)#

RADIUS

Introduction to RADIUS

User accounts are typically maintained locally on the switch. Therefore, if a site contains multiple Avaya Switches, it is necessary to configure each switch with its own user accounts. Additionally, if for example a 'read-write' user has to be changed into a 'read-only' user, you must change all the 'read-write' passwords configured locally in every switch, in order to prevent him from accessing this level. This is obviously not effective management. A better solution is to have all of the user login information kept in a central location where all the switches can access it. P330 features such a solution: the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS).

A RADIUS authentication server is installed on a central computer at the customer's site. On this server user authentication (account) information is configured that provides various degrees of access to the switch. The P330 will run as a RADIUS client. When a user attempts to log into the switch, if there is no local user account for the entered user name and password, then the switch will send an

P333R-LB specifications

The Avaya P333R-LB is a robust and versatile switch that is part of Avaya's portfolio aimed at enterprise networking solutions. This switch is designed to enhance the performance and scalability of network infrastructure while ensuring high availability and reliability.

One of the main features of the P333R-LB is its Layer 3 switching capability, which allows for efficient routing within an organization's network. This capability is particularly beneficial for organizations with multiple VLANs, as it simplifies the routing process and ensures that data packets are transmitted in the most efficient manner possible.

The P333R-LB is equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize traffic based on the type of application being used. This ensures that critical applications, such as VoIP and video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance. Additionally, it supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, making it adaptable to a variety of networking environments.

Another important feature of the Avaya P333R-LB is its stackable design. This allows multiple switches to be interconnected, creating a single logical unit. This stacking capability not only simplifies management but also increases overall network capacity and redundancy. In case of a hardware failure, the stack can continue operating without interruption, maintaining network integrity and service continuity.

The switch also integrates advanced security features, including support for MAC filtering, access control lists, and port security. These features help to safeguard network resources from unauthorized access and potential threats. Moreover, the P333R-LB supports 802.1X port-based authentication, which adds an additional layer of security during user access to the network.

The Avaya P333R-LB comes with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed connectivity to devices such as servers, workstations, and IP phones. This ensures that all devices on the network can communicate effectively, supporting the demands of modern enterprise environments.

For management and monitoring, the P333R-LB offers a user-friendly web interface along with SNMP support, enabling network administrators to easily configure settings and monitor network performance. This simplicity in management is crucial for IT teams that need to ensure optimal network performance while minimizing downtime.

In summary, the Avaya P333R-LB is a feature-rich, scalable, and reliable switch that meets the needs of demanding enterprise networks. With its advanced technologies, QoS support, stackable design, robust security features, and high-speed connectivity options, the P333R-LB is positioned to support a wide range of applications and enhance overall network performance.
