Security
Your BayStack 410-24T switch security feature can provide two levels of security
for your local area network (LAN):
RADIUS-based security -- Limits administrative access to the switch through
user authentication.
MAC address-based security -- Limits access to the switch based on allowed
source MAC addresses.
Figure 1-5
shows a typical campus configuration using the BayStack 410-24T
switch security features. This example assumes that the switch, the teachers
offices and classrooms, and the library are physically secured. The student
dormitory may (or may not be) physically secure.
