The TOE is a network switch that provides Layer-2 switching, Layer-3 routing, and traffic filtering. Layer-2 switches analyze incoming frames and makes forwarding decisions based on information contained in the frames. Layer-3 routing determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. These devices may create or maintain a table of the available routes and their conditions and use this information along with distance and cost algorithms to determine the best route for a given packet. Routing protocols include BGP, RIP v.2, and OSPF. Filtering controls network traffic by controlling whether packets are forwarded or blocked at the switch’s interfaces. Each packet is examined to determine whether to forward or drop the packet, on the basis of the criteria specified within the access lists. Access list criteria could be the source address of the traffic, the destination address of the traffic, the upper-layer protocol, or other information.

\r\nThe evaluation was carried out in accordance to the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) process and scheme. The evaluation demonstrated that the TOE meets the security requirements contained in the Security Target. The criteria against which the TOE was judged are described in the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 3 and National and International Interpretations effective May 28, 2009. The evaluation methodology used by the evaluation team to conduct the evaluation is the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 3. InfoGard Laboratories determined that the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch (TOE) provides the security assurance required by Evaluation Assurance Level 2 (EAL2) and ALC_FLR.2.
\r\nThe TOE, configured as specified in the installation guide, satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the Security Target. Validators on behalf of the CCEVS Validation Body monitored the evaluation carried out by InfoGard. The evaluation was completed in October of 2011.
