700 Series Software Manual v2.1 The results are reported for the selected port. The test can take up to one minute. Note: Only the console menu will let you run the virtual cable tester on any port. Other management interfaces require port access and therefore cannot reliably test the cable continuity of the port they are using to access the switch. Main Menu> Advanced> Advanced Security This menu option allows you to configure the advanced security settings of the switch to limit the access to the management interfaces. Main Menu> Advanced> Advanced Security> System Authentication Figure 4-19: Advanced Security There are two advanced security options beyond the basic password protection: RADIUS client authentication and IP Filtering. If you have a RADIUS server on your network, you can have authentication of management access done through the RADIUS server. This does not affect traffic passing through the switch, but only authenticates access to the switch management. The same is true for IP Filtering. Here, you can allow only users with specific IP addresses to access the management features, thus preventing unauthorized personnel from configuring to the switch. Main Menu> Advanced> Advanced Security > Port-Based Authentication This menu option allows you to configure the 802.1x security settings of the switch to require RADIUS authentication to access ports on the switch. 4-16 Administration Console Telnet Interface
