Features & Benefits:

Quality of Service (QoS)

• IEEE 802.1p prioritization — delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
• Class of Service (CoS) — sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ
• Bandwidth shaping —
  • Port-based rate limiting — provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced increased bandwidth
  • Classifier-based rate limiting — uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each port
  • Reduced bandwidth — provides per-port, per-queue egress-based reduced bandwidth
• Congestion avoidance — Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)/Random Early Detection (RED)
• Powerful QoS feature — supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and WRED
• Traffic policing — supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate

Intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS)

• Deep packet inspection — module supports deep packet inspection and examines the packet payload as well as the frame and packet headers; packets are dropped if attacks or intrusions are detected using signature-based or protocol anomaly-based detection
• Signature-based detection — detects attacks that have known attack patterns; IPS maintains a signature database that contains the pattern definitions for known attacks that can be automatically updated using a subscription service
• Protocol anomaly-based detection — detects attacks that use anomalies in application protocol payloads
• Severity-based action policies — involve action taken against attacks based on their severity; available actions are "allow," "block," and "terminate connection" to provide appropriate mitigation
• Signature update service — provides regular updates to the signature database, helping to facilitate that the latest available signatures are installed

Firewall

• Stateful firewall — enforces firewall policies to control traffic and filter access to network services; maintains session information for every connection passing through it, enabling the firewall to control packets based on existing sessions
• Zone-based access policies — logically groups virtual LANs (VLANs) into zones that share common security policies; allows both unicast and multicast policy settings by zones instead of by individual VLANs
• Application-level gateway (ALG) — deep packet inspection in the firewall discovers the IP address and service port information embedded in the application data; the firewall then dynamically opens appropriate connections for specific applications
• NAT/PAT — choice of dynamic or static network address translation (NAT) preserves a network's IP address pool or conceals the private address of network resources, such as Web servers, which are made accessible to users of a guest or public wireless LAN

Virtual private network (VPN)

• IPSec — provides secure tunneling over an untrusted network such as the Internet or a wireless network; offers data confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity between two network endpoints
• Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) — can be used to transport Layer 2 connectivity over a Layer 3 path in a secured way; enables the segregation of traffic from site to site
• Manual or automatic Internet Key Exchange (IKE) — provides both manual or automatic key exchange required for the algorithms used in encryption or authentication; auto-IKE allows automated management of the public key exchange, providing the highest levels of encryption

• Network Time Protocol (NTP) — synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps timekeeping consistent among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time
• Network Quality Analyzer (NQA) — analyzes network performance and service quality by sending test packets, and provides network performance and service quality parameters such as jitter, TCP, or FTP connection delays and file transfer rates; allows a network manager to determine overall network performance and to diagnose and locate network congestion points or failures
• Info center — provides a central information center for system and network information; aggregates all logs, traps, and debugging information generated by the system and maintains them in order of severity; outputs the network information to multiple channels based on user-defined rules
