Get an Edge at the Edge with the Matrix® N-Series
The Matrix N-Series uses RADIUS snooping to provide enhanced authentication and control of endpoint devices – even when they are not connected to Enterasys gear.
Matrix N-Series RADIUS snooping provides the ability to intercept radius requests coming from PCs and end stations connected to edge switches and apply role- and user-based policy with more granular authentication control than that provided by the edge switch. This allows the network manager to deploy lower cost and less capable edge switches for basic access control at the network edge, while still benefiting from the complex user and service-based QoS provisioning, authorization, usage auditing, and policy capabilities of the Matrix N-Series.
RADIUS Snooping Benefits Include:
- Industry leading authentication and Quality of Service (QoS) no matter where the PC or end station is connected
- Reduced capital equipment cost by deploying lower cost edge switches
- Reduced complexity of user management
