Security

Launching the Security application; LANVIEWSECURE defined; configuring security; enabling security and traps at the repeater, hub, and port levels; security on non-LANVIEWSECUREHubs

The Security application allows you to configure and manage the

LANVIEWSECURE feature incorporated into the new generation of Cabletron’s family of stackable hubs. LANVIEWSECURE provides enhanced intruder protection by allowing you to secure two source MAC addresses per port, along with an additional floating cache of up to 32 addresses among ports on a single hub; in addition, LANVIEWSECURE provides eavesdrop protection by scrambling the data portion of each packet to all ports except the destination port.

NOTE

Some portions of LANVIEWSECURE functionality will apply to all ports in the SEHI- managed hubstack, including ports residing on older, non-LANVIEWSECUREhubs; these will be noted throughout the text, and summarized in the section entitled Security on Non-LANVIEWSECUREHubs.
