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 managementSNMPv3 - 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 faulttolerant ring and mesh Ethernet networks that incorporate

redundant links that are ‘pruned’ to prevent loops. eRSTP™ yields worst-case fault recovery1 of 5ms times the ‘bridge diameter’ and allows rings of up to 160 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

ROS® Features

“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).

1 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
