Supported Protocols

The ARX supports a range of network, application, and file-access
protocols, including the following.

Network

• Spanning tree: 802.1D and Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1S)

Note

In 802.1D mode, the switch executes the 802.1S protocol in 802.1D
compatibility mode. This allows inter operability with legacy 802.1D-only
devices.

• VLAN (802.1Q)

• LACP passive link aggregation (802.3ad)

• Internet Protocol (IP)

• Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP)

• Domain Name Service (DNS), as a client

• Network Time Protocol (NTP), as a client

File Services

• Common Internet File System (CIFS)

• Network File System (NFS): NFSv2 over UDP and NFSv3 over TCP or

UDP

• Network Locking Manager (NLM)

Security and Authentication

• NT LAN Manager (NTLM) v1 (supported through F5 Acopia Secure

Agent. See the

ARX Secure Agent Installation Guide

for information.)

• Kerberos authentication for Windows clients

• Network Information Service (NIS, also known as YP)

• Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) for

administrators
