KEy FEATURES ANd BENEFITS
Robust VoIP and Power over Ethernet

Standards-based IEEE 802.3af poE supporting a wide variety of endpoints
Choice of 1250W (70 Class 3) or 2500W (140 Class 3) per poE power supply
Independent system and poE power subsystems allow the addition of poE without 
affecting the system power
High-availability power design—N+1 poE power redundancy for the 8-slot FastIron Superx 
and FSx 800 chassis and N+3 poE power redundancy for the 16-slot FSx 1600 chassis
Intelligent poE power management

PoE auto-detection enables support for PoE and non-PoE devices without configuration 

changes
Software accessible system and per port power consumption

Configurable per port PoE priority for power allocation

proven interoperability with popular voice over Ip equipment, including legacy Cisco Ip 
phones
Advanced QoS and cell-based fabric enable high-quality VoIp service

Auto-configuration for VoIP endpoints

Voice VlAN feature automatically places Ip phones in their own VlAN
Auto-detects legacy and standard 802.3af powered devices
llDp/llDp-mED standards greatly simplify and enhance network management, asset 
management, and network troubleshooting

IronShield Advanced Security

multilevel access security for console access
IronShield 360—sFlow-powered automated closed-loop threat detection and mitigation 
solution
Secure Web-based management interface prevents unauthorized users from accessing or 

changing the switch configuration

Terminal Access Controller Access Control Systems (TACACS/) and RADIuS 
operator authentication
Secure Shell, Secure Copy, and SNmpv3 restrict and encrypt communications to the 
management interface and system
IEEE 802.1x authentication including multiple device authentication and dynamic policy 

configuration for authenticated clients—VLAN, ACL

private VlANs provide security and isolation between switch ports to help ensure that 

users cannot snoop on other users’ traffic

Denial of Service protection—monitoring, throttling, and locking out of ICmp and TCp SyN 

traffic both to the management address of the switch and for transit traffic

Ip Source Guard, DHCp Snooping, and ARp Inspection protect against snooping and man-
in-the-middle attacks
Byte-based and packet-based Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast rate limiting
ACl log reports provide source detail for denied packets
ACl-based port mirroring enables Ip monitoring for CAlEA and related law enforcement 

traffic monitoring
Enhanced MAC filtering to include Denial of Service protection

mAC address authentication including multiple device authentication and dynamic policy 

configuration

Enhanced port security for controlling access of authorized users
