Security to keep
information safe
All devices on the network need to
ensure network element security as well
as data integrity. The Ethernet Routing
Switch 8600 employs several layers of
built-in security for both switch access
and network data. Nortel Secure Network
Access v1.5 offers seamless secure access
for internal end users (i.e., wired or
wireless LAN networks) or external
users. Firewalls, passwords, access
policies, secure protocols, address and
port filtering, routing policies and DoS
prevention mechanisms help ensure that
the network and its data stay secure.
