which can be learned or specied by the administrator

• MAC address lockout prevents particular congured MAC

addresses from connecting to the network

• Multiple user authentication methods

 - 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

 - Supports MAC-based client authentication

• Secure shell (SSH) v2 encrypts all transmitted data for

secure remote CLI access over IP networks

Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs,

preventing forged BPDU attacks

• STP root guard protects the root bridge from malicious

attacks or conguration mistakes

• Secure management access delivers protected encryption

of all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2

and SNMPv3

• Custom banner displays security policy when users log in

to the switch

switch; protects against unwanted le downloads or

unauthorized copying of a switch conguration le

• Protected ports CLI oers intuitive CLI to congure the

source-port lter feature, by allowing specied ports to be

isolated from all other ports on the switch; the protected

port or ports can communicate only with the uplink or

shared resources

• Authentication exibility

 - Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port provides

authentication for up to 32 IEEE 802.1X users per port;

prevents a user from “piggybacking” on another user’s

IEEE 802.1X authentication

 - Concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web or MAC authentication

schemes per port allows a switch port to accept IEEE

802.1X and either Web or MAC authentications

• Switch management logon security helps secure switch

CLI logon by optionally requiring either RADIUS or

TACACS+ authentication

• 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

trac from unauthorized hosts, preventing IP source

address spoong

• MAC Pinning allows non-chatty legacy devices to stay

authenticated by pinning client MAC addresses to the port

until the clients logo or get disconnected

Convergence

• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) facilitates

easy mapping using network management applications with

LLDP automated device discovery protocol

• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery) denes a standard

extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such

as QoS and VLAN to automatically congure network

devices such as IP phones

• PoE and PoE+ allocations support multiple methods

(automatic, IEEE 802.3at dynamic, LLDP-MED ne grain,

IEEE 802.3af device class or user-specied), to allocate and

manage PoE/PoE+ power for more ecient energy savings

• Voice VLAN uses LLDP-MED to automatically congure a

VLAN for IP phones

• IP multicast (IGMP) prevents ooding of IP multicast trac

• LLDP-CDP compatibility receives and recognizes CDP

packets from Cisco’s IP phones for seamless interoperation

• Local MAC Authentication assigns attributes such as VLAN

and QoS using locally congured prole that can be a list

of MAC prexes Unied Wired and Wireless
