Cisco Secure User Registration Tool
Cisco Secure User Registration Tool
Cisco Secure URT is a virtual LAN (VLAN) assignment service that provides LAN
security by actively identifying and authenticating users and then associating them only
to the specific network services and resources they need through dynamic VLAN
assignments to Cisco Catalyst® Switch networks. URT v2.5 introduces many
innovative features, including a Web-based logon from Windows, Macintosh, and Linux
clients, RADIUS and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication,
and a secure link between the client and the VLAN Policy Server (VPS). It also includes
a security feature based on the Media Access Control (MAC) address that prevents users
from accessing the network if they are not using authorized machines. Web based LAN
authentication allows for user mobility within the LAN environment.
