OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 Feature Descriptions Authentication Features AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) is a system in IP-based networking to control the resources that users have access to and to keep track of the user activity over a network. Local Authentication Allows a user to be authenticated against the local database.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 Denial-of-Service A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack is a malicious attempt by one or many users to limit or completely disable the availability of a service. The OmniAccess 5510 USG provides an effective way to prevent these attacks against their networks. The OmniAccess 5510 USG employs rate limiting and rule based filtering to prevent these attacks.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 Intrusion Detection Alcatel IPS/IDS is a network security system designed to identify intrusive or malicious behavior via monitoring of network activity. The IDS identifies suspicious patterns that may indicate an attempt to attack, break in, or otherwise compromise a system. IDS can be network-based or host-based, passive or reactive, and can rely on either misuse detection or anomaly detection.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 Multicast Protocols Multicast is an efficient way to deliver traffic from one sender to many potential receivers. PIM-SM Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols route multicast packets to multicast groups. PIM is protocol independent because it can leverage whichever unicast routing protocol is used to populate unicast routing table.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 TFTP Server/Client TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simplified version of FTP that allows for the transfer of files to and from a device. The TFTP client/server package on OmniAccess 5510 USG allows the system to act as either a TFTP client or server for downloading files. Currently, uploading of files to the TFTP server running on OmniAccess 5510 USG is not supported.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 License Manager Some of the features on the OmniAccess 5510 USG are license enabled. Hence they require a license to function. These licenses regulate the availability of a licensable feature at all times. These licenses are contained in a set of license files that will describe the features authorized to run on the OmniAccess 5510 USG. License Manager helps in managing these license files.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 WRED WRED (Weighted Random Early Detection) is also a congestion avoidance technique. WRED combines the capabilities of the RED algorithm with the IP precedence/DSCP feature to provide preferential traffic handling of higher priority packets. It can selectively discard lower priority traffic when the interface begins to get congested and provide differentiated performance characteristics for different classes of service.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 Hierarchical Queuing Hierarchical Queuing provides a mechanism of controlled sharing of excess bandwidth in a hierarchical fashion. One can configure the hierarchical policy, which supports currently three level of packet classification. QoS manager will check all the constraint of the HPC and will maintain the database. Hierarchical Queuing is not supported on ATM interface.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 OSPF OSPF is an IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) developed by the OSPF working group of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). OSPF was designed expressly for the IP networks. OSPF supports IP subnetting and tagging of externally derived routing information. Packet authentication and sending and receiving packets using IP multicast are also supported in OSPF.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 VRF VRF-CE (Virtual Routing and Forwarding Customer Edge) is a feature that enables a service provider to support two or more VPNs, where IP addresses can be overlapped among the VPNs. VRF-CE uses input interfaces to distinguish routes for different VPNs and forms virtual packet-forwarding tables by associating one or more Layer 3 interfaces with each VRF. A Layer 3 interface can belong to only one VRF at any time.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 Factory Default Configuration OmniAccess 5510 USG supports factory default configuration. In scenarios where OmniAccess 5510 USG is managed in a centralized management system, it is desirable to have a zero touch deployment. OmniAccess 5510 USG may just be connected to network lines and powered on, and the rest of configuration should be managed by the centralized location.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 WAN Protocols HDLC Layer 2 of the OSI model is the data link layer. One of the most common layer 2 protocols is the High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol. In fact, many other layer 2 protocols are based on HDLC, particularly its framing structure. OA5510-TE supports only Cisco HDLC Frame Relay FR is a WAN protocol that operates at the physical and data-link layers of the OSI reference model.
OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes September 2010 header. If there are interoperability issues with the peer, the MRRU value of the peer MLPPP interface has to be adjusted accordingly. LFI Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) is a Layer 2 technique in which all the Layer 2 frames are broken into small, equal-size fragments, and transmitted over the link in an interleaved fashion.
