Enforcing Switch Security
Network Access Security
■ source-port filters: Inbound traffic from a designated, physical source-port will be
forwarded or dropped on a per-port (destination) basis.
■ multicast filters: Inbound traffic having a specified multicast MAC address will be
forwarded to outbound ports or dropped on a per-port (destination) basis.
■ protocol filters: Inbound traffic having the selected frame (protocol) type will be forwarded
or dropped on a per-port (destination) basis.
Refer to the chapter titled “Traffic/Security Filters” in the Access Security Guide for your switch
model.
802.1X Access Control
This feature provides port-based or client-based authentication through a RADIUS server to protect
the switch from unauthorized access and to enable the use of RADIUS-based user profiles to control
client access to network services. Included in the general features are the following:
■ client-based access control supporting up to 32 authenticated clients per-port
■ port-based access control allowing authentication by a single client to open the port
■ switch operation as a supplicant for point-to-point connections to other 802.1X-aware
switches
The following table shows the type of access control available on the various ProCurve switch
models:
