Zero mistakes

The switches are configured 100% correctly every time, removing human error

Greater Security

How many times have you had users plug different devices into ports without first informing you? The network now secures itself even when you're not there

Managed by Active Directory

Manage your switches through your own Active Directory. No need to purchase complicated third party software

How Intelliport works

Intelliport is a Network Access Control solution that automates the configuration of switch ports as end user devices are connected. Your existing Active Directory is used as the configuration platform for the system. This service is currently only offered with Extreme Networks switches.

This is popular with those who are familiar with Microsoft Active Directory as it requires no interaction with third party software.

Identify

As a device is connected to a switch port, it is identified through a combination of either MAC address or 802.1X. If the device is not known to Intelliport the device is marked as unknown.

Authorise

Once the device has been identified, appropriate authorisation takes place assigning the device into the correct role. If the device was unknown a default "guest" or "denied" role will be assigned.

Configure

Switch ports are automatically configured binding the device into the appropriate VLAN based on its assigned role. NOTE: Multiple simultaneous devices are supported. e.g. computer connected to a deskphone then into switch. Both will connect to different VLANs without the need to be preconfigured.

Secure

Your switch ports are now automated and self configuring meaning your network is secure, while permitting guest access if desired.
