Network Services are logical groups of Classification Rules that identify specific networked
applications or services. Users may be permitted or denied access to these services based on
their role within the organization. Priority and bandwidth rate limiting may also be controlled
using Network Services.
•
Behavioral Profiles (or roles) are used to assign Network Services to groups of users who
share common needs–for example Executive Managers, Human Resources Personnel, or
Guest Users. Access, resources, and security restrictions are applied as appropriate to each
Behavioral Profile. A variety of authentication methods including 802.1X, EAP‐TLS, EAP‐
TTLS, and PEAP may be used to classify and authorize each individual user; and the IT
Administrator may also define a Behavioral Profile to apply in the absence of an
authentication framework.
Standards Compatibility
The DFE modules are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3‐2002, 802.3ae‐2002, 802.1D‐1998, and
802.1Q‐1998 standards. The DFE module provides IEEE 802.1D‐1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm
(STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against "loop"
conditions.
LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way
to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations.
