Tofino™ Pre-defined Protocols, Controllers and Applications
September 2011
The Tofino Security Appliance can support virtually any controller, network device or communication protocol that uses Ethernet. This application note is a partial listing of the controllers, servers, application programs, and communication protocols that have pre-defined profiles in the Tofino CMP software version 1.7.0 and later. If you do not see your application or control system listed, please feel free to contact us.
Configuring Firewalls to Allow Tofino™ CMP Traffic
March 2010
The Tofino Central Management Platform (CMP) is a software application program that allows all Tofino Security Appliances (SAs) in a control network to be managed from a single workstation in the plant.
The Tofino CMP may be located anywhere in the network, as long as it is able to communicate with the Tofino SAs that it manages. If any routers or firewalls are located between the Tofino CMP and a Tofino SA in the network, then each router/firewall device must be configured to allow the Tofino CMP traffic to pass through these devices.
Applying Traffic Rate Limits with Special Rules
March 2010
The Tofino Central Management Platform (CMP) software provides visual drag-and-drop editors that permit the control systems engineer to create rules defining which devices on the control network are allowed to communicate with each other, and what protocols they are permitted to use. Another type of pre-defined rule, called Special Rules, allow the Tofino Security Appliance (SA) to implement more advanced filtering rules that cannot be expressed visually. This application note explores several special rules that implement traffic rate limiting.
