Security

Security can be categorized into two levels: user name / password level, and port access level. The Moxa
PRP/HSR RedBox provides a number of different security functions, including Login Authentication,
Management Interface, Trusted Access, Authentication Certificate, IEEE 802.1A, Port Security, and Loop
Protection.

Login Authentication

The Moxa PRP/HSR RedBox provides two different user login options: Terminal Access Controller
Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+), and Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS). The
TACACS+ and RADIUS mechanisms are centralized "AAA" (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting)
systems for connecting to network services. The fundamental purpose of both TACACS+ and RADIUS is to
provide an efficient and secure mechanism for user account management.
