Description
Management and Configuration Guide
PoE Power Allocation Methods: Allows you to manually allocate the amount of PoE power for a port by either
its class or a defined value.
USB Secure Autorun: Helps ease the configuration of ProCurve switches by providing a way to
auto-execute CLI commands from a USB flash drive. Note that the ability
to create a valid AutoRun file also requires ProCurve Manager. For details,
see the section on “USB Autorun” in the Appendix on “File Transfers”.
SNMP Traps: Allow you to configure the switch to send network security and link-change
notifications to configured trap receivers. More error conditions can be
reported and logged to help resolve security threats and network issues.
MAC-based Remote Mirroring: Allows you to use MAC as a criteria in selecting traffic that needs to be
monitored in addition to current port, ACL, and direction criteria.
Show Command Changes: The show power-management CLI command has been changed to show
power-over-ethernet. You can use this command and the show power slot
<slot-id> to display information about PoE power.
The show system-information CLI command syntax has been changed to
show system with additional options to display details of system compo-
nents: fans, information, power-supply, and temperature.
Scalability: Increased max trunks (60); and increased helper address (4k). For scal-
ability values for VLANs, hardware, ARP, and routing, see the new Appendix
titled “Scalability: IP Address, VLAN, and Routing Maximum Values”.
Advanced Traffic Management Guide
STP Root Guard: STP root guard allows user to prevent changes to the root bridge and thus
preventing malicious attackers from modifying the root switch and
ensuring that the STP topology maintain the optimal setting.
QinQ: QinQ (provider bridging) has been added to allow frames from multiple
customers to be forwarded through another topology (provider network)
using service VLANs or S-VLANs. For more information, see the new “QinQ
Provider Bridging” chapter.
