ME 2400 Switch 24-10/100 2 SFP AC Power Supply - ME-2400-24TS-A

    As Metro Ethernet networks continue to expand, one of the challenges that service providers face is to provide the same level of security as other access technologies. To meet this challenge, the Cisco ME 2400 Series switches provide the most comprehensive security solution for Ethernet access products. By dividing security into three portions and designing features for each, the Cisco ME 2400 can provide complete solution at the access layer. The three different areas of security the switch addresses are subscriber security, switch security, and network security.

    The subscriber security helps create protection among customers. One of the biggest concerns about using a shared device for multiple customers is how to prevent customers from affecting each other. The Cisco ME 2400 Series addresses this concern by providing features such as UNI/NNI, DHCP Snooping, and Private VLAN. The UNI/NNI feature creates a circuit-like behavior to separate customers’ traffic from each other. DHCP Snooping helps service providers identify each user’s MAC address, IP address, and port information and prevents users from attempting DHCP based attacks.

    The switch security is about protecting the switch itself from attacks. The Cisco ME 2400 Series offers features to protect CPU and configuration files from attacks. CPU is a critical component of an Ethernet switch; it is responsible for process-control protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol and routing updates; if CPU is under DoS attack, those control packets could be dropped, resulting in network outage. Features such as Control Plane Security and Storm Control protect the CPU against malicious attacks. Port Security is another important security feature; it allows service providers to control the number of MAC addresses each subscriber is allowed - thereby protecting against overwhelming the switch memory.
