MAC Authentication
MAC authentication provides a way for authenticating users based on ports and MAC addresses; it requires no client software to be installed on the hosts. This document describes:
Portal authentication, as its name implies, helps control access to the Internet. This document describes:

Port Security
Port security is a MAC address-based security mechanism for network access controlling. It is an extension to the existing 802.1x authentication and MAC authentication. This document describes:
By filtering packets on a per-port basis, IP source guard prevents illegal packets from traveling through, thus improving the network security. This document describes:

SSH2.0
SSH ensures secure login to a remote device in a non-secure network environment. By encryption and strong authentication, it protects the device against attacks. This document describes:
