Launching the Security application; LANVIEW SECURE defined; configuring security; enabling security
and traps at the repeater, module, and port levels; security on non-LANVIEW SECURE MIMs
The Security application allows you to configure and manage the
LANVIEW SECURE feature incorporated into the new generation of Cabletron’s
repeater family of MIMs: the TPRMIM-xxS, FORMIM-xxS, CXRMIM-S, and
TPXMIM-xxS.
LANVIEW SECURE provides enhanced intruder protection by
allowing you to secure two source MAC addresses per port, along with an
additional floating cache of up to 32 addresses among ports on a single board; in
addition,
LANVIEW SECURE provides eavesdrop protection by scrambling the data
portion of each packet to all ports except the destination port.
To launch the Security application

1. Click on the appropriate EMM-E6 icon to display the icon menu.
2. Drag down to Security and release.
from the Hub View:
1. Click on to display the Device menu.
2. Drag down to Security and release.
NOTE
Some portions of LANVIEW SECURE functionality will apply to all ports in the EMM-
E6-managed chassis, including ports residing on older, non- LANVIEW SECURE MIMs;
these will be noted throughout the text, and summarized in the section entitled Security
on Non-
LANVIEW SECURE MIMs , on page 7-5 .
