MES53xx, MES33xx, MES23xx Ethernet Switch Series 13
Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP)
The TFTP is used for file read and write operations. This protocol is based on UDP
transport protocol.
The devices are able to download and transfer configuration files and firmware
images via this protocol.
Secure Copy protocol
(SCP)
SCP is used for file read and write operations. This protocol is based on SSH
network protocol.
The devices are able to download and transfer configuration files and firmware
images via this protocol.
Remote network monitoring (RMON) is an extension of SNMP that enables
monitoring of computer networks. Compatible devices gather diagnostics data
using the network management station. RMON is a standard MIB database that
contains actual and historic MAC-level statistics and control objects that provide
real-time data.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
(SNMP)
SNMP is used for monitoring and management of network devices. To control
system access, the community entry list is defined where each entry contains
access privileges.
Command Line Interface
(CLI)
Switches can be managed using CLI locally via serial port RS-232, or remotely via
telnet or ssh. Console command line interface (CLI) is an industrial standard. CLI
interpreter provides a list of commands and keywords that help the user and
reduce the amount of input data.
Syslog is a protocol designed for transmission of system event messages and error
notifications to remote servers.
Simple Network Time
Protocol
(SNTP)
SNTP is a network time synchronization protocol; it is used to synchronize time on
a network device with the server and can achieve accuracy of up to 1ms.
Traceroute is a service feature that allows the user to display data transfer routes
in IP networks.
Privilege level controlled
access management
The administrator can define privilege levels for device users and settings for each
privilege level (read-only - level 1, full access - level 15).
Management interface
blocking
The switch can block access to each management interface (SNMP, CLI). Each type
of access can be blocked independently:
Telnet (CLI over Telnet Session)
Secure Shell (CLI over SSH)
SNMP
Passwords for local authentication can be stored in the switch database.
IP address filtering for
SNMP
Access via SNMP is allowed only for specific IP addresses that are the part of the
SNMP community.
RADIUS is used for authentication, authorization and accounting. RADIUS server
uses a user database that contains authentication data for each user. The switches
implement a RADIUS client.
Terminal Access
Controller Access
Control System
(TACACS+)
The device supports client authentication with TACACS+ protocol. The TACACS+
protocol provides a centralized security system that handles user authentication
and a centralized management system to ensure compatibility with RADIUS and
other authentication mechanisms.
