MIL-STD 9-Port Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Cyber Security

Cyber security is an urgent issue in many industries where
advanced automation and communications networks play
a crucial role in mission critical applications and where high
reliability is of paramount importance. Key ROS™ features that
address security issues at the local area network level include:

.Passwords - Multi-level user passwords secures switch

against unauthorized configuration

.SSH / SSL - Extends capability of password protection

to add encryption of passwords and data as they cross
the network

.Enable / Disable Ports - Capability to disable ports so that

traffic can not pass

.802.1q VLAN - Provides the ability to logically segregate

traffic between predefined ports on switches

.MAC Based Port Security - The ability to secure ports on

a switch so only specific Devices / MAC addresses can
communicate via that port

.802.1x Port Based Network Access Control - The ability

to lock down ports on a switch so that only authorized
clients can communicate via this port

.Radius - Provides centralized password management
.SNMPv3 - encrypted authentication and access security

The ROS™ cyber security features are included to help
address the various industry specific security standards such
as NERC CIP, ISA S99, AGA 12, IEC 62443, ISO 17799:2005
and PCSRF SPP-ICS.

Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (eRSTP™)

RuggedCom eRSTP allows the creation of fault-tolerant ring
and mesh Ethernet networks that incorporate redundant links
that are 'pruned' to prevent loops. eRSTP yields worst-case
fault recovery1of 5ms times the 'bridge diameter' and allows
rings of up to 80 switches. For example, a ring of ten
switches will have fault recovery times under 50ms. eRSTP
implements both STP and RSTP to ensure interoperability
with commercial switches unlike other proprietary 'ring'
solutions.

Quality of Service (IEEE 802.1p)

Some networking applications such as real-time control
or VoIP (voice over IP) require predictable arrival times for
Ethernet frames. Switches can introduce latency in times
of heavy network traffic due to the internal queues that buffer
frames and then transmit on a first come first serve basis.
ROS™ supports 'Class of Service' in accordance with IEEE

802.1p that allows time critical traffic to jump ahead to the
front of the queue thus minimizing latency and reducing jitter
to allow such demanding applications to operate correctly.
ROS™ allows priority classification by port, tags, MAC
address, and IP type of service (TOS).

A configurable "weighted fair queuing" algorithm
controls how frames are emptied from the queues.

VLAN (IEEE 802.1q)

Virtual local area networks (VLAN) allow the segregation
of a physical network into separate logical networks with
independent broadcast domains. A measure of security is
provided since hosts can only access other hosts on the
same VLAN and traffic storms are isolated. ROS™ supports

802.1q tagged Ethernet frames and VLAN trunks. Port
based classification allows legacy devices to be assigned
to the correct VLAN. GVRP support is also provided to
simplify the configuration of the switches on the VLAN.

Link Aggregation (802.3ad)

The link aggregation feature provides the ability to aggregate
several Ethernet ports into one logical link (port trunk) with
higher bandwidth. This provides an inexpensive way to set up
a high speed backbone to improve network bandwidth. This
feature is also known as "port trunking", "port bundling", "port
teaming", and "ethernet trunk".

IGMP Snooping

ROS uses IGMP snooping (Internet Group Management
Protocol v1&v2) to intelligently forward or filter multicast traffic
streams (e.g. MPEG video) to or from hosts on the network.
This reduces the load on network trunks and prevents
packets from being received on hosts that are not involved.
ROS™ has a very powerful implementation of
IGMP snooping that:

.Can be enabled on a per VLAN basis.
.Detects and filters all multicast streams regardless of

whether subscribers exist.

.Supports "router-less" operation by supporting an

"active" mode.

.Restores traffic streams immediately after an RSTP

topology change.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

SNMP provides a standardized method for network
management stations the ability to interrogate devices from
different vendors. SNMP versions supported by ROS™ are
v1, v2c, and v3. SNMPv3 in particular provides security
features (such as authentication, privacy, and access control)
not present in earlier SNMP versions. ROS™ also supports
numerous standard MIBs (Management Information Base)
allowing for easy integration with any network management
system (NMS).

eRSTP fault recovery times may be approximated as follows:

For 100 Mbps, fault recovery performance is <5ms/hop
For 1,000 Mbps, fault recovery performance
is <5ms/hop + 20ms
