Secure Switch Access
Secure Switch Access is a filtering program that prevents unauthorized access to the switch by
allowing you to define a list of filters and filter points. For Secure Switch Access, filters are
lists of source traffic that are allowed onto the switch. Filter points operate on
IP
protocols
that include
FTP
, Telnet,
SNMP
,
TFTP
,
HTTP
, and a custom
IP
protocol. Whenever any of these
filter points is enabled, all filters configured for that protocol are applied to incoming traffic
using the filter point protocol.
All access violations are logged. If a filtering point is not enabled, it is accessible to all users.
Configuring the Secure Switch Access Filter Database
Use the
secdefine
command to view and configure the database of secure access filters. This
database includes information on filter names, source
IP
addresses, source
MAC
addresses,
and the physical ports receiving data.
The following is a sample
secdefine
display:
