Configuring Security options
Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series security features provide three levels
of security for your LAN:
•
RADIUS-based security—limits administrative access to the switch
through user authentication.
•
MAC address-based security—limits access to the switch based on
allowed source MAC addresses.
•
EAPOL-based security
Figure 1 "Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series security feature" (page

shows a typical campus configuration that uses the Ethernet Routing
Switch 2500 security features. This example assumes that the switch, the
teachers’ offices and classrooms, and the library are physically secured.
The student dormitory can (or can not be) physically secure.
