C360 Features and Benefits
Issue 2 July 2005 23
Security
● Password-protected access - three levels (read-only, read-write, and supervisor access) to
management interfaces for protection against unauthorized configuration changes. Refer
to Security Levels
on page 62 for further information.
● Access Control allows you to define which packets have access - based on the source or
destination address information in the packet or on other information in Layer 3 and Layer
4 (on routed packets only). Refer to Policy Configuration
on page 190 for further
information.
● IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication to prevent unauthorized devices (clients) from
gaining access to the network. Refer to IEEE 802.1x (Port Based Network Access
Control) on page 126 for further information.
● 802.1x with attribute assignments allows you to set VLAN ID, priority or multi-vlan binding
per user. Refer to IEEE 802.1x (Port Based Network Access Control)
on page 126 for
further information.
● Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) provides flexible administrative
control over authentication and authorization processes. Refer to RADIUS
on page 82 for
further information.
● SNMP v3 adds security features to the SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c feature set. Refer to
SNMPv3
on page 77 for further information.
● SSH enables establishing a remote session over a secured tunnel, also called a remote
shell. Refer to Establishing an SSH Connection
on page 68 for further information.
● MAC Security is intended to filter incoming frames (from the line) with an unauthorized
source MAC address (SA). Refer to MAC Security
on page 136 for further information.
Quality of Service (QoS)
● Per-port 802.1p marking for untagged traffic ensures that time-sensitive packets receive
the appropriate priority. Refer to Priority
on page 116 for further information.
● Four egress queues on all switch ports.
- You can configure these queues with either the WRR (Weighted Round Robin)
scheduling algorithm or the strict priority scheduling algorithm.
● 802.1p and DSCP mapping. Refer to Policy Configuration Overview on page 190 for
further information.
● Classification of traffic per L3/L4 attributes on routed traffic only (classification based on
information in the IP and TCP/UDP headers)
● 802.1p QoS marking based on packet classification for high-performance quality of service
at the network edge, allowing for differentiated service levels for different types of network
