Hi Juan, I've tested DIR in laboratory and it really works well. We had a Dragon IDS detecting attacks and, when integrated with NetSight Atlas, applying restrictions to the attacker's switch port. Cisco does have a similar solution (I believe it's called RBAC) but it depends on having servers specifically for this solution and, as far as I know, it is not as complete as Enterasys. I'd love to hear from people who've used Cisco's solution. See ya, Bernardo. On 1/8/06, Juan B <juanbabi () yahoo com> wrote:
Hi, I tought to implement Enterasys DIR (dynamic intrustion response ) on my corporate lan ,this new thecnology had a Firewall on each swithch port. one can configure a defailt policy for the entire switch and with one click enable it on all ports, with Netsight Atlas and authntication of users with a backend Ldap server or Active directory I can configure policy of traffic for each userin the company this is a Fw for layers 2-4. I tried to look for similer thechnologies at other vendors like cisco and they dont have anything. is it possible with cisco to configure ACL's on LAN switchs? like in the old 2900 familiy? and if yes, I dont thing it is managemble.... So what so you think about the DIR? I guess the other vendors are way behind or am I wrong. Thnaks ! __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL – Something to write home about.
