Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch

Security

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

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

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

Figure 1-5 shows a typical campus configuration using the BayStack 410-24T switch security features. This example assumes that the switch, the teachers’ offices and classrooms, and the library are physically secured. The student dormitory may (or may not be) physically secure.
