Broad support for Quality of Service allows
granular control of a variety of traffic
types including Voice over IP, real-time
and non-real-time video, and data-intensive
applications. Extensive classification
capabilities combined with network-wide
policies allow the Matrix N Standalone to
rate limit traffic flows granularly. Both
We i g h t e d Round Robin, which keeps low
priority traffic from being completely
starved of bandwidth, and Strict Priority
Queuing is supported. Support for the IP
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)
enables the switches to enforce requested
service levels.
Extensive Security Support
With the Matrix N Standalone switch, the
network is protected at the first point of
entry where users access the network.
Authentication and security of end-user
ports can be managed at the individual
port or individual user granularity level.
Matrix N Standalone switches support
user authentication via IEEE 802.1x, access
control lists, VLANs, RADIUS, MAC and
Web-based (PWA) authentication. Multi-user
authentication and multiple authentication
types per port are both supported on the
Matrix N Standalone switch.
A Key Enabler of Secure Networks
The Matrix N Standalone supports enhanced
security that goes beyond traditional
perimeter security and access control.
Secure Networks integrates advanced
security and management features to cen-
tralize and automate granular control of
the entire network infrastructure. Wo r k i n g
in conjunction with NetSight™ Policy
Manager, NetSight Automated Security
M a n a g e r, and Dragon™ Intrusion Defense
Systems, the Matrix N Standalone switch
is a key enabler of Secure Networks.
Flexible, dynamic policy capability and
Flow Setup Throttling in the Matrix N
Standalone switch enable network managers
to support Acceptable Use Policy, Secure
Application Provisioning, Secure Guest
Access, Dynamic Intrusion Response,
Single Sign-On, and Trusted End System
Secure Networks solutions.
Connectivity, Performance, and
Availability
The Matrix N Standalone supports 48
10/100/1000Base-TX ports and four
1000Base-X ports via mini-GBICs. Mini-
GBICs that support both multimode and
single mode fiber over long- or short-haul
fibers are available. The high-performance
architecture of the Matrix N Standalone
supports throughput of 13.5 Mpps, ensuring
no degradation of performance as new users
connect to the network.
Engineered for high availability, the
Matrix N Standalone comes standard with
two redundant power supplies, allowing
the switch to failover seamlessly to the
redundant power supply in case of a failure.
