Introduction

In a Hot Standby system, the BMENOR2200H module supports datagram transport layer security (DTLS). This cyber security feature helps defend against attacks by hiding Hot Standby communication in encrypted traffic. Use these settings:
  • Enable DTLS

  • Pre-shared key

You can enable or disable the DTLS protocol for each module. The feature is enabled by default when the module is in secure mode. Enter the pre-shared key or disable DTLS when the BMENOR2200H module initially boots (like the Syslog function).
