Safeguard Engine
Periodically, malicious hosts on the network will attack the Switch by utilizing packet flooding (ARP Storm) or other
methods. These attacks may increase the Switch’s CPU load beyond its capability. To alleviate this problem, the
Safeguard Engine function was added to the Switch’s software.
The Safeguard Engine can help the overall operability of the Switch by minimizing the workload of the Switch while the
attack is ongoing, thus making it capable to forward essential packets over its network in a limited bandwidth.
If the CPU load rises above the rising threshold value, the Safeguard Engine function will be activated and the Switch
will enter the exhausted mode. In the exhausted mode, the Switch will limit the bandwidth available for ARP and
broadcast IP packets. If the CPU load falls below the falling threshold value, the Safeguard Engine will be deactivated
and the Switch will exit the exhausted mode and enter the normal mode.
Packets that are destined to the CPU can be classified into three groups. These groups, otherwise known as sub-
interfaces, are logical interfaces that the CPU will use to identify certain types of traffic. The three groups are Protocol,
Manage, and Route. Generally, the Protocol group should receive the highest priority when the Switch’s CPU
processes received packets and the Route group should receive the lowest priority as the Switch’s CPU usually does
get involved in the processing of routing packets. In the Protocol group, packets are protocol control packets
identified by the router. In the Manage group, packets are destined to any router or system network management
interface by means of interactive access protocols, like Telnet and SSH. In the Route group, packets are identified as
traversing routing packets that is generally processed by the router CPU.
In the following table a list of supported protocols are displayed with their respective sub-interfaces (groups):
