SIXNET Managed Switch Tour

SIXNET managed switches can ensure that your network is safe from intrusion by utilizing the advanced security features provided. The first level of defense is password protection. All interfaces (web (https), telnet, Secure Shell (SSH) or terminal) are protected by a username and password. Unauthorized users, those without the password, are blocked from making any changes to the switch. The second level of protection is message encryption. This ensure that your communications to the switch cannot be spied upon and thus compromised. Advanced encryption is available for SNMP communications using SNMPv3, the web interface using secure HTTPS which utilizes SSL (Secure Socket Layers) or TLS (Transport Layer Security), or by using Secure Shell (SSH). Of course, for the best protection, the switches allow you to disable those access methods that you do not intend on using.
