Restricted Switching with MX Routers
Restricted Switching Priority Scheme
The following example shows a priority scheme for four levels of security managed by one MX Router:
1
2
3
4
This scenario shows four levels of security managed by one MX router.
For video:
• destination workstations in the
red
network can see what is transmitted by source computers in the black
, green
,
blue
, and
red
networks
• destination workstations in the
blue
network can see what is transmitted by source computers in the black,
green
, and
blue
networks
• destination workstations in the
green
network can see what is transmitted by source computers in the black and
green
networks
• destination workstations in the black network can see what is transmitted by source computers in the black network only
For keyboard and mouse:
• destination workstations in the
red
network can control source computers in the black,
green
,
blue
, and
red
networks
• destination workstations in the
blue
network can control source computers in the black,
green
, and
blue
networks
• destination workstations in the
green
network can control source computers in the black and
green
networks
• destination workstations in the black network can control source computers in the black network only
Restricted switching is configured via firmware loaded to the MX router. The configuration file for this scenario would look like
(where the first value is “i” for input or “o” for output, the second value is the port number, and the third value is the priority level).
Important Notes:
• The MX48 Router can support 48 priority levels.
Note: When using a Back-up Controller configuration, both controllers must have the same
Restricted Switching Table file(s).
