Overview of Access Security Features

Local Manager and Operator Passwords (page 1-1)


Control access and privileges for the CLI, menu, and web browser
interface.
TACACS+ Authentication (page 2-1)


Uses an authentication application on a central server to allow or
deny access to Switch 2650 or 6108.
RADIUS Authentication and Accounting (page 3-1)


Like TACACS+, uses an authentication application on a central server
to allow or deny access to Switch 2650 or 6108. RADIUS also provides
accounting services for sending data about user activity and system
events to a RADIUS server.
Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication (page 4-1)


Provides encrypted paths for remote access to switch management
functions.
Port-Based Access Control (802.1x) (page 5-1)


On point-to-point connections, enables the switch to allow or deny
traffic between a port and an 802.1x-aware device (supplicant)
attempting to access the switch. Also enables the switch to operate
as a supplicant for connections to other 802.1x-aware switches.
Port Security (page 6-1)


Enables a switch port to maintain a unique list of MAC addresses
defining which specific devices are allowed to access the network
through that port. Also enables a port to detect, prevent, and log
access attempts by unauthorized devices.
Authorized IP Managers (page 7-1)


Allows access to the switch by a networked device having an IP
address previously configured in the switch as "authorized".
