Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch

Security

Your BayStack 410-24T switch security feature can provide three levels of security for your local area network (LAN):

•MAC address-based security -- Limits access to the switch based on allowed source MAC addresses.

•RADIUS-based security -- Limits administrative access to the switch through user authentication.

•SNMP security -- Limits administration access via selective IP filtering.
