• Dual-home link (DHL) support for sub second link protection without STP
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to provide highly available routed environments
• Broadcast and multicast storm control to avoid degradation in
overall system performance • Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD): Detects and disables unidirectional links on fiber optic interfaces
• Layer 2 port loopback detection for preventing customer loops on Ethernet access ports • Redundant and hot- swappable power supplies, transceivers modules offering uninterruptable service
• Dual image and dual configuration files storage provides backup |
| Advanced security |
| Access control | • AOS Access Guardian framework for comprehensive user policybased Network Access Control (NAC) • Autosensing 802.1X multi-client, multi-VLAN • MAC-based authentication for non-802.1x hosts • Web-based authentication (Captive Portal) – a customizable web portal residing on the switch that can be used for authenticating supplicants as well as non-supplicants • Group mobility rules and “guest” VLAN support • The host integrity check (HIC) agent on each switch makes it a HIC enforcer and facilitates endpoint device control for company policy compliance. • Supports dynamic Change of Authentication (CoA) and enforces traffic remediation or restriction for noncompliant devices.
• User Network Profile (UNP) – simplify NAC management and control by dynamically providing pre-defined policy configuration to authenticated clients — VLAN, ACL, BW, HIC
• SSH for secure CLI session with public key infrastructure (PKI) support
• Centralized RADIUS and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user authentication
• Private VLAN feature for user traffic segregation |
| Containment, monitoring and quarantine | Alcatel-Lucent Quarantine Manager and quarantine VLAN (not supported)
• Learned Port Security (LPS) or MAC address lockdown –secures the network access on user or trunk ports based on MAC address
• DHCP Snooping, DHCP IP Spoof protection
• TACACS+ client allows for authentication authorization and accounting with a remote TACACS+ server
• Dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) protection and ARP poisoning detection
• Access control lists to filter out unwanted traffic including denial of service attacks;flow-based filtering in hardware (L1-L4)
• Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) blocking – automatically shuts down user ports if a STP BPDU packet is seen to prevent topology loops
