and web access
Device/SAN Management Security Via SSH, SFTP, SNMPv3, and User Roles RADIUS Server for iSCSI Authentication
Full accounting support Secure management protocols including SSH, SFTP, and SNMPv3 Secure switch control protocols leveraging IPSecESP to yield FC-SP WWN, Port, and LUN zoning all done in hardware Full RADIUS support for switch and iSCSI host authentication
SAN Protocol Security (FC-ESP) VSANs Provide Secure Isolation iSCSI Hardware-Based Attached Zoning Via WWN, Servers Port, and LUN

Intelligent Network Services Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Role-based access control for CLI command groups
Users can be assigned multiple roles Roles mapped to device groups
Example:
User profile indicates the roles/ groups to which the user belongs 64 user-configurable roles and 4 predefined roles provided Roles are built by blocking/enabling CLI parsing tree (2 levels deep, e.g. [show] [interface] or [debug] [*]) New users assigned to appropriate roles/groups based on access privileges

Advanced Traffic Management

Forward Congestion Control
(FCC) mechanism can throttle back traffic at its origin
Department/ Customer A (Low Priority) Department/ Customer B (High Priority)
QoS allows traffic to be

intelligently managed Low-priority traffic throttled at source High-priority traffic not affected Minimizes impact of oversubscription Potential Potential Bottlenecks Allows more economical topologies Bottlenecks
