• 2 x 10GE pluggable XFP
Number of managed Access Points • Up to 512 APs in increments of 64 Access Points licenses
Network Domain™ service extends the reach of • Cluster of 1,024 Mobility Domains, extending mobility across 32,768 MX controllers
Mobility Domain across a global network
Reliability • Always-on availability and hitless failover with no service interruption for voice and data clients even in the unlikely event
of a controller failure
• Hot pluggable redundant power supply
• Hot pluggable fan tray module
• EtherChannel™ load-shared, redundant links
• Spanning tree and per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST+)
• Resilient network attachment via any MX port
• N:1 and N:N redundant MX capabilities
Security
Authentication • Supports complete local AAA authentication, including 802.1x, as primary or backup to a centralized AAA server
• Supports multiple AAA server groups and can load share across multiple AAA servers or within a server group
• Generates and manages X.509 digital certificates
• Assigns and enforces per-user authorization policies that are managed centrally from the AAA back-end
• Authorizations include virtual private group membership, personal firewall filters, time-of-day/day-of-week access, encryption type,
and location-specific policies
• IEEE 802.1x with multiple EAP types (TLS, PEAP/MSCHAP, TTLS)
• WebAAA, MAC, Open
• WiFi WPA2 Enterprise certified
Encryption Key Management • Encryption distributed in Mobility Point access points
• MX generates master and session keys
• Provides key management for each encryption technique
Identity-based Networking • User credentials define access and network resource privileges
• Privileges and services follow users as they roam
• Maintains a user’s membership in the right virtual private group based on the user’s authenticated identity
• Dynamically enables Virtual Private Groups to support roaming across router boundaries
• Centralized management and control
Endpoint assurance • Trusted Computing Group (TCG) - Trusted Network Connect (TNC) compliant
• Microsoft NAP compliant
Intrusion Detection and Protection • ActiveScan™ rogue and denial-of-service (DoS) attack detection — Scans all bands, associated channels and VLANs, while
simultaneously providing wireless connectivity to mobile clients
• SentryScan™ — Scans the air continuously on both bands and their associated channel while other MPs support wireless LAN clients
• Rogue detection, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and RF countermeasures
• Trapeze/AirDefense integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention
- Best in class IDS/IPS
- Common Trapeze MP hardware for sensor and service APs
- Dynamic threat management- convert MPs to sensors on demand
- Threat location and mitigation
