Authentication Certificate

The switch offers two methods to encrypt the communication: SSL Certificate and SSH Key. You can only use

one of the encryption types at the same time. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is mainly for web communication

security. It secures the data between two application points. SSH (Secure Shell) is a security protocol based on

the Application Layer and Transport Layer. It encrypts the data for security.

NOTE

The switch only support

s one type of the Authentication Certificate at a time.

Check the Authentication Certificate, and then click Activate to complete.

Using Port Access Control

The Moxa switch provides two kinds of Port-Based Access Control: Static Port Lock and IEEE 802.1X.

Static Port Lock

In this case, the Moxa switch can also be configured to protect static MAC addresses for a specific port. With the

Port Lock function, these locked ports will not learn any additional addresses, but only allow traffic from preset

static MAC addresses, helping to block hackers and careless usage.
