Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch

RADIUS-Based Network Security

The RADIUS-based security feature allows you to set up network access control, using the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services) security protocol. The RADIUS-based security feature uses the RADIUS protocol to authenticate local console and TELNET logins.

You will need to set up specific user accounts (user names and passwords, and Service-Type attributes) on your RADIUS server before the authentication process can be initiated. To provide each user with appropriate levels of access to the switch, set the following username attributes on your RADIUS server:

•Read-write access -- Set the Service-Type field value to Administrative.

•Read-only access -- Set the Service-Type field value to NAS-Prompt.

For detailed instructions about setting up your RADIUS server, refer to your RADIUS server documentation.

For instructions on using the console interface (CI) to set up the RADIUS-based security feature, see “Console/Comm Port Configuration” on page 3-94.

SNMP Security

The SNMP security feature allows you to set up network access control using selective IP filtering. SNMP-based security limits administration access to the switch, based on IP address filters.

For instructions on using the console interface (CI) to set up SNMP security, see “TELNET/SNMP Manager List Configuration” on page 3-111.

IEEE 802.1p

The BayStack 410-24T switch can prioritize the order in which packets are forwarded, on a per-port basis.

For more information about the IEEE 802.1p prioritizing feature, see “IEEE 802.1p Prioritizing” on page 1-59.
