Ethernet Security
Assuming that password-protected hosts and network equipment are present in the customer's
network, FastSwitch can provide the additional security needed to enhance network protection.
When configured for ethernet security, the protected ports will detect access attempts by an illegal
user, or by a hacker attempting to cable into the port.
Each FastSwitch port is configured independently for the desired ethernet protection options:
FastSwitch ports configured for normal mode will have no additional security; ports configured for
Port-based security will be disabled if ever disconnected; ports configured for MAC-based security
will be disabled or filtered if an illegal address is detected. Port- and Mac-based security modes and
options described in the paragraphs below.
