    Secure Networks Policy Support Secure Networks Policy Support Policy Enabled Networking manages the allocation of networking infrastructure  resources in a secure and effective manner. Using Secure Networks Policy, an IT  Administrator can predictably assign appropriate resources to the Users, Applications,  and Services that use the network; while blocking or containing access for inappropriate  or potentially dangerous network traffic. Using this technology it is possible, for the first  time, to align IT services with the needs of specific users and applications, and to leverage  the network as a key component of the organization’s security strategy. The Secure Networks Policy Architecture consists of 3 components: Classification Rules,  Network Services, and Behavioral Profiles. These are defined as follows: • Classification Rules determine how specific traffic flows (identified by Layer 2, Layer  3, and Layer 4 information in the data packet) are treated by each Switch or Router. In  general, Classification Rules are applied to the networking infrastructure at the  network edge/ingress point.  • 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.

    Module Placement in a Matrix E7 Chassis In normal usage (and typical implementations) there is no need to enable/disable ports for  Link Aggregation. The default values will result in the maximum number of aggregations  possible. If the switch is placed in a configuration with its peers not running the protocol,  no aggregations will be formed and the DFE modules will function normally (that is,  Spanning Tree will block redundant paths). For details about the commands involved with configuring the Link Aggregation  function, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. Module Placement in a Matrix E7 Chassis If you want to mix 6x1xxx, 6x2xxx, 6x3xxx, and 7H43xx‐xx series modules in the same  Matrix E7 chassis, and successfully bridge data traffic to some or all modules in the  chassis, it is necessary to have a bridging module (such as the 7H4385‐49) installed, and to  follow the module placement rules described in “Module Placement and Installation  Rules” on page 3‐4.

    Backplane Connections and Installation Rules These DFE modules have connections to both FTM1 and FTM2 backplanes, enabling them  to route frames between the two backplanes and all modules in the 6C107 chassis.  However, the older first (6x1xx), second (6x2xx), and third (6x3xx) generation modules  are still managed using their own Local Management and are not subject to management  by the DFE module management entity. The Matrix N1 (7C111), Matrix N3 (7C103) and Matrix N7 (7C107) chassis have only FTM2  connections and support only DFE modules. The Matrix N5 (7C105‐P) has FTM2  connections and also supports PoE‐compliant DFE modules. Module Placement and Installation Rules The DFE‐Platinum modules can be installed in a Matrix E7 (refer to “Matrix E7 Chassis  Module Placement,” below, for placement rules), Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or  Matrix N7 chassis. The Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, and Matrix N7 chassis support  only DFE Series modules and there are no particular rules for installing modules.

Rule: The 6x1xx and 6x2xx modules can communicate with each other when they are  installed in chassis slots 1 through 5 in the Matrix E7 chassis. If installed in slot 6 or 7, they  operate in standalone mode. Example 4 (Figure 3-1, Shows chassis slots 1 through 5 populated with a mix of 6x1xx, 6x2xx, and 6x3xx modules  and only third generation modules in slots 6 and 7. In this module arrangement, the 6x3xx module provides a proxy bridge, which enables  the 6x1xx and 6x2xx modules to communicate with 6x3xx modules in slot 6 or 7. If more  than one 6x3xx module is installed in slots 1 to 5, the module in the lowest numbered slot  performs the proxy function for slots 6 and 7. Therefore, if a 6x3xx module is already ...

Rule: In this example, there must be at least one 6x3xx series module, and a bridging  module in any of the slots 1 through 5 to enable communications between all generations  of modules in the chassis. Example 6 (Figure 3-1, F) The module arrangement in this example is similar to the one shown in Figure 3‐1, E described in Example 5. The only difference is that one of the bridging modules  (7H4382‐25, 7H4382‐49, 7H4383‐49, or 7H4385‐49) is installed in slot 2, enabling all  modules to communicate with each other. The 7H4382‐49 is used in this example.  Rule: In this example, the bridging module serves as both the FTM1‐to‐FTM2 bridge and  the five‐to‐seven slot proxy bridge. The 6x3xx does not serve as a proxy bridge in this  configuration because the bridging module is in a slot with a lower number.  3-6 Installation...

  • Page 87: Appendix C: About Poe (Power Over Ethernet)

    About PoE (Power over Ethernet) This appendix provides an overview of Power over Ethernet Technology and how it is  implemented in relation to the 7H4385‐49. Overview Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to the ability to provide operational power through the  same Ethernet cabling to a PD (powered device) connected to a data network. Modern  Ethernet implementations employ differential signals over twisted pair cables. This  requires a minimum of two twisted pairs for a single physical link. Both ends of the cable  are isolated with transformers blocking any DC or common mode voltage on the signal  pair. PoE exploits this fact by using two twisted pairs as the two conductors to supply a  direct current. One pair carries the power supply current and the other pair provides a  path for the return current.   While several proprietary legacy implementations of PoE  have been deployed by LAN equipment vendors, in 2003 the IEEE published the IEEE  802.3af‐2003 specification, which is part of the 802.3 suite of standards. The 7H4385‐49 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard. It supports the standard  resistor based detection method, as well as AC disconnect capability. The 7H4385‐49 is  also capable of supplying the maximum specified current to all ports simultaneously. Each PD has a PDC (Powered Device Classification) that is transmitted to the DFE module  for power management purposes. Table C‐1 lists the classifications and the associated  power ranges. Table C-1 Powered Device Classifications Class Usage PD Maximum Power Range Usage Default 0.44 to 12.95 Watts Optional 0.44 to 3.84 Watts Optional...

  • Page 88: Proprietary Pd Detection

    Overview Proprietary PD Detection The 7H4385‐49 supports a subset of the currently deployed proprietary PoE methods.  This includes support for Cisco PDs, including a proprietary capacitor based detection  scheme.  Power Interface The 7H4385‐49 can interface with an external 48V power supply that resides in a Matrix  N5 chassis or from a separate Matrix N‐POE Power System. Matrix N5 Backplane 48 Vdc Interface The 7H4385‐49 has a connector that interfaces with the backplane of the N5 chassis for  48 Vdc power. This power connection on the 7H4385‐49 is fused, has EMI suppression  components for this interface, and can support a sustained output current of 20 A. Front Panel 48 Vdc Interface The 48 Vdc Optional Power Input connector on the 7H4385‐49 front panel provides a  power interface connection for an Enterasys Matrix N‐POE Power System, which  provides the 48 Vdc, 20 Amperes of power and return as well as the power supply status  signals. The status signals indicate the presence and operating state of each Matrix N‐POE  Power System power supplies. This 48 Vdc Optional Power Input interface is not fused as  the N‐PoE Power System has a circuit breaker for each PoE switch module power feed. Warning: The DFE module is shipped with a cover over its 48 Vdc Optional Power Input connector.
