Enhancing Network Security
PLANET IGS-4215-24T4X offers comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. With the protected port function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. Furthermore, Port security function allows to limit the number of network devices on a given port. The network administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Ensuring Network Integrity
The IGS-4215-24T4X also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. Its accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data can be transmitted across a network. Moreover, it ensures that information remains unaltered during transmission and that the network itself is secure from unauthorized access or attacks.
