¾RADIUS Enhancements

The maximum number of RADIUS servers supported has increased from three to 32.

RADIUS servers with the same name can be used as Backups (RADIUS Authentication and Accounting servers)

Simultaneous Transactions to Multiple RADIUS Servers

RADIUS Accounting – Allows a client the ability to deliver accounting information about a user to an Accounting server.

¾IPv6 support for QoS (ACL/DiffServ)

Extends the existing QoS ACL and DiffServ functionality by providing support for IPv6 packet classification. Ethernet IPv6 packets are distinguished from IPv4 packets by a unique Ethertype value (all IPv6 classifiers include the Ethertype field).

¾Auto VoIP

This provides ease of use in configuring VoIP for IP phones on the switch. This is accomplished by enabling a VoIP profile that a user can select on a per port basis.

¾Dynamic ACL Management

The number of rules allowed per ACL has been increased to the maximum allowed by the silicon (127 rules). This will allow all available rules to be assigned to a single ACL. However, the user is no longer guaranteed to be able to apply an ACL if the number of rules is over-subscribed. Refer to the Configuration Guide for details.

¾SCPv2, SFTP

Adds the ability for the user to securely transfer files to/or from the switch. It makes use of the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). SSH client login is used to establish a secure connection to the remote server before the file transfer begins.

¾Captive Portal

This allows administrators to block clients from accessing the network until user verification has been established or authenticated. Verification can be configured to allow access for both guest and authenticated users. Authenticated users must be validated against a database of authorized Captive Portal users before access is granted.

¾802.1x MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB)

Provides 802.1x unaware clients controlled access to the network using the device MAC address as an identifier. This requires that the known and allowable MAC address and corresponding access rights be pre-populated in the authentication server. MAB only works when the port control mode of the port is MAC-based.
