Security
provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number
Monitor and diagnostics
• Multiple user authentication methods
− IEEE 802.1X
uses an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server to authenticate in accordance
with industry standards
− Web-based authentication
provides a browser-based environment, similar to IEEE 802.1X, to authenticate clients that do not support the
IEEE 802.1X supplicant
− MAC-based authentication
authenticates the client with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
• Authentication flexibility
− Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port
provides authentication of multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents a user from "piggybacking" on another
user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
− Concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentication schemes per port
switch port will accept up to 32 sessions of IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentications

encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch
• Port security
allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
• MAC address lockout
prevents particular configured MAC addresses from connecting to the network
• Secure FTP
allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of a
switch configuration file
• Switch management logon security
helps secure switch CLI logon by optionally requiring either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication
• STP BPDU port protection
blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks
• DHCP protection
blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
• Dynamic ARP protection
blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
• Dynamic IP lockdown
works with DHCP protection to block traffic from unauthorized hosts, preventing IP source address spoofing
• STP Root Guard
protects the root bridge from malicious attacks or configuration mistakes
•Identity-driven ACL
enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment specific to each
authenticated network user
• Per-port broadcast throttling
configures broadcast control selectively on heavy traffic port uplinks
