Ethernet switch designed specifically for the utility and industrial markets

The SEL-2730M has several essential security features built in.
Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) provides a standardized method to work with
other network management systems (NMSs), as well as the SEL-5051 Network Management Software. The
SEL-2730M is also compatible with SNMP Version 2 (SNMPv2) to work with other NMS software.
SNMPv3 provides the following security features:
• Message integrity, which ensures a packet has not been tampered with while in transit.
• Authentication, which determines that the message is from a valid source.
• Encryption, which scrambles the contents of a packet to prevent it from being seen by an unauthorized
source.
This level of security allows data to be collected securely from SNMP devices without the fear of data
tampering or corruption.
And confidential information (e.g., SNMP SET command packets that change router configuration) can be
encrypted to prevent the contents from being exposed on the network.
Security logging is supported and is settable and viewable from the web interface.
User-based accounts are supported. The interface is just like a Microsoft ® Windows ® login.
Using port-based security, the SEL-2730M allows users to create access lists and restrict port access to
legitimate stations using one of three methods: Static Lock, Count Lock, or Time Lock mode.
Finally, all rear ports may be turned on or off (activated or deactivated) via the web interface to meet
security requirements.
