Enhancements
Description
Management and Configuration Guide
Bi-directional Rate Limiting: In earlier releases, all traffic rate-limiting applied to inbound traffic only,
and was specified as a percentage of total bandwidth. This enhancement
allows you to configure outbound rate-limiting for all traffic on a port, and
specify bandwidth usage in terms of bits per second (bps).
Loopback Interface: A virtual interface that is always up and reachable as long as at least one
of the IP interfaces on the switch is operational. By default, each switch
has an internal loopback interface (lo0). You can configure up to seven
other loopback interfaces on the switch.
USB Support Provides an option for using a USB device as a source or destination for
file transfers. Refer to "Using USB To Download Switch Software" in the
"File Transfers" appendix of the Management and Configuration Guide for
your switch (February 2007 or newer). For information on USB device
compatibility on the 3500yl, 5400zl, and 6200yl switches, refer to the HP
ProCurve support Website:

.
Intelligent Mirroring Enables copying of network traffic from a network interface to a local or
remote exit port where a host such as a traffic analyzer or intrusion
detection system (IDS) is connected.
DNS Resolver Used in local network domains to enable the use of a hostname or
fully-qualified domain name to perform ping and traceroute operations from
the switch.
SNMP-Server Source IP
Commands:
Provides added security by allowing you to send SNMP replies from the
same IP address as the one on which the corresponding SNMP request
was received.
SNMPv3 AES Support: Authentication and privacy for SNMPv3 users has been enhanced to
support AES 128-bit encryption as a privacy protocol in SNMPv3 messages
in compliance with RFC 3826.
Multicast and Routing Guide
OSPF NSAA: Support for Not-So-Stubby-Areas (NSAA).
DHCP Relay: Enhancements to the DHCP Relay feature allow you to disable the hop
count in DHCP requests, and enable support for up to 2048 IP helper
addresses of DHCP servers.
