Create Stronger Network Security
Control exactly what is allowed on your network with the deny-by-default architecture of the SEL-2742. SEL SDN uses four layers of matching rules to check every packet entering switches. Only packets matching the user-configured criteria are forwarded. SDN also makes systems more cybersecure by eliminating attack-prone networking features, like MAC tables, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), multicast, and broadcast.
Improve Failover Performance
SDN allows you to predefine every network path, bringing more precision to critical infrastructure networks and improving failover times to less than 100 μs, two orders of magnitude faster than those achieved with traditional networking technology. And with no blocked ports for RSTP, all of the SEL-2742 ports are useable for communications flows.
