Multi-layer Security

Enterprises are becoming borderless as they open their networks to e-business and external users. This

requires the network to provide easy user access yet have extensive security that can be managed

across a global enterprise. The OmniSwitch 7000 series provides multi-layer security with a vast

arsenal of features that can be implemented at the edge, the core, and throughout the network.

These include:

• User authentication

• VLANs

• Access control lists (ACLs)

• Authenticated switch access

• Encryption

•NAT/PAT

• Denial of service protection

Multi-layer security enables the building of sophisticated hardware and software-based solutions

that can be integrated with policy-based management and other technologies such as smart cards,

PKI, and biometrics for enhanced security implementations. For secure management there are

many features integrated into the architecture including authenticated user access, SNMPv3 and

SSL for encrypted sessions, and partitioned management for multi-tiered access and granular

network administration.

Distributed Intelligence

Distributed intelligence ensures that users and applications get the priority and performance they need

with ease-of-use management that extends across the enterprise. The OmniSwitch 7000 series features

state-of-the-art ASIC-based technology for intelligent, wire-speed everything including switching,

routing, ACLs, load balancing, and QoS. The switches provide application-aware switching for layers

2, 3, and 4 and the most advanced classiﬁcation, prioritization, and queuing schemes. They also

support industry classiﬁcation standards including 802.1Q/p, TOS, and DiffServ, and are enhanced

with complementary features such as extensive QoS mappings, and re-tagging of prioritization.

The OmniSwitch 7000s are well adapted to server connectivity offering embedded server load

balancing (no specialized hardware or software is required) and operates at wire-speed. This

ﬂexibility makes them a perfect ﬁt in small or medium core applications where server connectivity and

backbone functions are collapsed.
