Traffic Prioritization
CoS Marking / Remarking
IEEE 802.1p to DSCP mapping
Auto classification of 3Com NBX
®
telephony traffic
Priority based on:
• IEEE 802.1p CoS
• DSCP (DiffServ Code Point)
• TCP/UDP source or destination port number 
• Default port priority
• IP Address / Protocol
Traffic Shaping
Egress rate limiting, port-based:
• 1 Mbps increments (10/100 ports)
• 8 Mbps increments (Gigabit ports)
Application and protocol blocking
Security
Network Access and
IEEE 802.1X user authentication
User Security
• RADIUS authentication
• Advanced security by locking a port to the MAC address of the authen-
ticated user
• Automatically assign VLANs and QoS profile to a port based on user
• Guest VLAN option
RADIUS Authenticated Device Access (RADA)
• Authenticate devices based on MAC address against a RADIUS server
• Authenticate multiple devices per port
• Automatically assign VLANs and QoS to a port specific to the devices 
attached
• Operates alongside IEEE 802.1X authentication to ensure user and
device are allowed access
• Local authentication for up to fifty IEEE 802.1X users and RADA
devices in absence of a centralized RADIUS server
• RADA “whitelist” support enhances flexibility for IEEE 802.1X/RADA
deployment
• Option to allow default VLAN access when RADIUS server is unavailable
