Appendix C: Secure Applications
TLX12 Matrix Switch Control
When used in a secure application, the Matrix Switch and External Computer (server) used to manage
the system must be in a physically secure environment to which only trusted administrators have access.
Similarly, the server used to manage the Matrix Switch must be physically protected and have suitable
identification/authentication mechanisms to ensure that only trusted administrators have access.
Thinklogic
al’s TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches use two methods for secure routing. One is known as
Restricted Switching
and the other is known as
Partitioning
. These methods can be deployed
singularly or jointly, depending on security requirements.
CATx Matrix Switching applications, not available on all Thinklogical Matrix Switch models, do not offer
an EAL4 rated level of security.
