SWITCH 8800 FIREWALL MODULE

3

Protects from attacks originating outside (IP spoofing, land, smurf, fraggle,

teardrop, WinNuke, SYN flood, ICMP/UDP flood, address scan/port scan,

ping of death) and inside (ARP and host cheats).

Onboard operating system and custom hardware designed for stateful

high-speed packet filtering, switching and analysis.

Enhanced detection function for TCP packet flag validity that is preventing

attack analysis behaviors at early stages of attack.

Supports transparent and routed modes of operation.

Real-time network monitoring methods help administrators with network

security management.

ASPF detects session information of application layer protocols that

attempt to pass firewalls and stop packets not matching rules.

Denial of Service (DoS) detection and defending.

Java Blocking protects networks from harmful Java Applets.

Port-to-application mapping for application layer protocol services on 

universal ports.

Enhanced session log function records all connections.

Application layer protocol information detection capabilities maintain the

status of sessions and check protocol and port ID of session packets to

prevent malicious invasion.

MAC-to-IP Binding and ARP spoofing check for protecting the security of

addresses in the internal network.

Supports Network Address Translation (NAT) to enable internal hosts to

access the external network resources with privacy protected.

IPv6 capable (requires future IPv6-capable routing software).

* The 3Com Switch 8800 Firewall does not support virtualization or load balancing.
