10-2 SecureStack A2 Configuration Guide
• MAC Authentication – provides a mechanism for administrators to securely authenticate source
MAC addresses and grant appropriate access to end user devices communicating on SecureStack
A2 ports. For details, refer to Section 10.3.3.
• Multiple Authentication Methods – allows users to authenticate using multiple methods of
authentication on the same port. For details, refer to Section 10.3.4.
• RFC 3580 Tunnel Attributes provide a mechanism to contain an 802.1X authenticated user to a
VLAN regardless of the PVID, refer to Section 10.3.5.
• MAC Locking – locks a port to one or more MAC addresses, preventing the use of unauthorized
devices and MAC spoofing on the port. For details, refer to Section 10.3.6.
• Secure Shell (SSH) – provides secure Telnet. For details, refer to Section 10.3.7.
