QuickSpecs
Overview
Web-based authentication
is similar to IEEE 802.1X and provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE
802.1X supplicant
MAC-based authentication
authenticates the client with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
DHCP protection
blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD)
provides security policies to users accessing a network
Convergence
LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery)
defines a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure
network devices such as IP phones
Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP)
allows multiple PIM-SM domains to interoperate; is used for inter-domain multicast applications (Comware v5 only)
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
utilizes Any-Source Multicast (ASM) or Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) to manage IPv4 multicast networks; supports IGMPv1, v2,
and v3
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
defines modes of Internet IPv4 and IPv6 multicasting to allow one-to-many and many-to-many transmission of information;
supports PIM Dense Mode (DM), Sparse Mode (SM), and Source-Specific Mode (SSM)
Multicast Border Gateway Protocol (MBGP)
allows multicast traffic to be forwarded across BGP networks and kept separate from unicast traffic
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol
establishes, maintains, and manages IPv6 multicast groups and networks; supports v1 and v2 and utilizes Any-Source Multicast
(ASM) or Source-Specific Multicast (SSM)
Multicast VLAN
allows multiple VLANs to receive the same IPv4 or IPv6 multicast traffic, lessening network bandwidth demand by reducing or
eliminating multiple streams to each VLAN
Voice VLAN
automatically assigns VLAN and priority for IP phones, simplifying network configuration and maintenance (Comware v5 only)
Integration
Open Application Architecture (OAA)
provides high-performance application-specific modules fully integrated with the switching architecture; uses the chassis high-
speed backplane to access network-related data; increases performance, reduces costs, and simplifies network management
VPN firewall module
provides enhanced stateful packet inspection and filtering; supports flexible security zones and virtual firewall containment
Advanced VPN services with 3DES and AES encryption at high-performance and low-latency Web content filtering Application
prioritization and optimization (JD249A; Comware v5 only)
Load-balancing module
local and global server load-balancing module helps improve traffic distribution using powerful scheduling algorithms, including
Layer 4 to 7 services; monitors the health status of servers and firewalls (JD254A; Comware v5 only)
NetStream module
provides traffic analysis and statistics capture to allow network administrators to rapidly identify network anomalies and
security threats, as well as capacity planning information; supports NetFlow v5 and v9 (JD254A; Comware v5 only)
Unified wired-WLAN module:
