  Advanced Security features for network management
Service name Description
IPsec/Firewall Provides network-layer security on IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A firewall provides
simple control of IP traffic. IPsec provides additional protection through
authentication and encryption protocols.
Kerberos Allows you to exchange private information across an open network by assigning a
unique key, called a ticket, to each user who logs on to the network. The ticket is
then embedded in messages to identify the sender.
SNMP v3 Employs a user-based security model for SNMP v3, which provides user
authentication and data privacy through encryption.
SSL/TLS Allows you to transmit private documents via the Internet and guarantee privacy
and data integrity between the client and server applications.
IPsec batch configuration Provides network-layer security through the simple control of IP traffic to and from
the product. This protocol provides the benefits of encryption and authentication
and allows for multiple configurations.
