FILE LOCATION: C:\Users\gina\Desktop\Checkout_new\Dell Astute\User Guide\Dell_Astute_Features.fm Locked Port Support Locked Port increases network security by limiting access on a specific port to users with specific MAC addresses. These addresses are either manually defined or learned on that port. When a frame is received on a locked port, and the frame source MAC address is not tied to that port, the protection mechanism is invoked. For more information, see Port Security. RADIUS Client RADIUS is a client/server-based protocol. A RADIUS server maintains a user database that contains per-user authentication information, such as user name, password, and accounting information. For more information, see RADIUS. RADIUS Accounting This feature enables recording device management sessions (Telnet, serial, and WEB but not SNMP) and/or 802.1x authentication sessions. The 802.1x Monitor mode enables applying 802.1x functionality to the switch, with all necessary RADIUS and/or domain servers active, without actually taking any action that may cause unexpected behavior. In this way, the user can test the 802.1x setup before actually applying it. For more information, see RADIUS. TACACS+ TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the device. TACACS+ provides a centralized, user management system, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and other authentication processes. For more information, see TACACS+. Password Management Password management provides increased network security and improved password control. Passwords for SSH, Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP access are assigned security features.

1 If the frame contains a VLAN tag, that tag is used, otherwise the frame is classified by the port's default VLAN (PVID), if it is defined.	144
2 After classification, the frame may pass (if enabled) through ingress filtering, where the frame is dropped if the frame's VLAN ID is not one of the VLANs to which the ingress port belongs.	144
3 A forwarding decision is made, as a function of the VLAN ID and the destination MAC address.	144
