3.12 Security
Security can be categorized in two levels: the user name/password level, and the port access level.
For both levels Weidmüller switches provide a wide range of options that allow the user to meet the
security requirements of different applications.
For user name/password level security, Weidmüller switches provide the possibility to enable/disable
any possible access to the management of the device and also provide the login option through
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus () or Remote Access Dial-In User
Service (RADIUS). The and RADIUS mechanisms are
centralized “AAA” (Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting) systems for connecting to network services.
Regarding the port access level, the switches provide three kinds of Port-Based Access Control:
•
Static Port Lock, either using MAC or IP addresses
•
Access Control Lists
•
IEEE 802.1X
Static Port Lock
In this case the Weidmüller switch can be configured to protect both static MAC and IP addresses for
a specific port. With the different available functions (Device binding, IP source guard, Port security),
these locked ports will only allow traffic from preset static MAC/IP addresses, helping to block
hackers and careless usage.
