Release K.12.01 Enhancements
Advanced Traffic Management Guide
Qos Queue Config: Allows you to reduce the number of outbound queues that all switch ports
will use to buffer packets for 802.1p user priorities.
Number of Default VLANs: In the factory default state, support has been increased from 8 VLANs to
256 VLANs. (You can reconfigure the switch to support up to 2048 (vids up
to 4094) VLANs.)
Migrating Layer 3 VLANs Using
VLAN MAC Configuration:
Allows you to upgrade to ProCurve routing switches without stopping the
operation of attached hosts that use existing routers as their default
gateway to route traffic between VLANs.
Access Security Guide
RADIUS AAA: Provides client-level security that allows LAN access to individual 802.1X
clients (up to 32 per port), where each client gains access to the LAN by
entering valid user credentials. This operation improves security by
opening a given port only to individually authenticated clients, while simul-
taneously blocking access to the same port for clients that cannot be
authenticated.
SNMP Access to Switch
Authentication features:
Enables manager read/write access for a subset of the SNMP MIB objects
for switch authentication features.
Security Note: Downloading and booting software release K.12.01 or
greater for the first time automatically enables SNMP access to the
hpSwitchAuth MIB objects. For more information, or to disable this feature
see“Support Notes” on page 17 for details.
Password Set via SNMP: Allows configuration of username and password via SNMP.
Client-based Access Control: 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).
Virus Throttling
on Bridged Traffic:
This enhancement allows connection-rate filtering on all IP traffic (not just
routed traffic as in earlier releases).
ACLs on Port Traffic and Bridged
Traffic:
Allows configuration of ACLs to filter traffic entering the switch on a VLAN
or port.
Dynamic ARP Protection: Protects your network from ARP cache poisoning by dropping packets, with
an invalid IP-to-MAC address binding, that are received on untrusted ports.
Instrumentation Monitor: Protects your network from a variety of common attacks by generating
alerts for detected anomalies on the switch.
