The box supports key exchange standards such as RSA, DSS and Diffie-Hellman, and is compliant with SSL Versions 2 and 3. The technology for the SSL-100 comes from CyberIQ, which Avaya acquired in March. The boxes can also be outfitted with ATM modules for WAN connectivity.

The box will compete with products such as Enterasys' modular Matrix switch line and Cisco's Catalyst 4000 series boxes.
