Figure 9: Secure Zone 1 - Inefficient and Unscalable Secure Zone Configuring Switch Integrated Security Features Creating an Efficient and Scalable Secure Zone Secure Zone: Secure Zone 1 - Inefficient and Unscalable Secure Zone Secure Zone 2 - Efficient and Scalable Secure Zone When Binding Tables are Decentralized Secure Zone 3: Efficient Secure Zone When Binding Table is Centralized Efficiency: Inefficient binding table, because the binding table is duplicated on each switch. Efficient binding table, because each host’s binding information is entered only once, and in one binding table and this the binding table of the directly connected switch.
Efficient binding table, because the binding information for each host is entered only once, and this is in the central binding table, which is on the distribution switch. Recommended Action: Reapply suitable policies to make the secure zone like secure zone 2 None; this is an efficient and scalable secure zone. None; this is the best possible secure zone given the type of set-up (where the other switches in the network are either non-Cisco or do not support the feature) Configuring Switch Integrated Security Features 15
