Release Notes for 07.8.04 Enhancements and Configuration Notes in 07.8.03
Inserting or Removing an EP Module on a ProCurve 9315M
NOTE: This section applies only to a ProCurve 9315M (15-slot chassis) with EP modules.
Do not insert or remove EP modules in a ProCurve 9315M until the device has fully booted. Generally, booting
takes around two minutes. You can determine whether the device has fully booted by looking at the management
console. Once the device boots, a command prompt or login prompt is displayed.
After the device has booted, allow time for the device to fully complete the removal or insertion before removing or
inserting another module. Generally, this takes about 30 seconds. After you remove or insert a module, the CLI
displays a message confirming completion of the change. Wait for this message before removing or inserting
another module.
Slot Locations for Redundant Management Modules
The 15 slots in the ProCurve 9315M are divided among 4 internal regions. Slots 1 – 4 belong to the same region;
slots 5 – 8 belong to the same region; slots 9 – 12 belong to the same region, and slots 13 – 15 belong to the
same region. If you are using redundant management modules, ProCurve recommends that you place both
management modules in slots belonging to the same region. For example, if you place one management module
in slot 5, ProCurve recommends that you place the other management module in slot 6, 7, or 8.
MAC Addresses
The ProCurve 9315M makes use of locally administered MAC addresses. If your site already uses locally
administered MAC addresses of the vendor OUI, which is 00e052, there could be a MAC address conflict with one
of the ports on the ProCurve device.
Server Trunk Groups
If you plan to configure ports on a module into a server trunk group, use the following guideline:
• For a multi-slot trunk group (one configured on two forwarding modules), the modules must both be in the
same set of slots (slots 1 – 7 or 9 – 15).
You do not need to follow this guideline for a switch trunk group.
NOTE: In software releases earlier than 07.6.00, the management module(s) and the module that had the server
trunk group’s ports were required to be in the same set of slots (slots 1 – 7 or 9 – 15). In software release 07.6.00
and later, there is no longer a restriction on the location of the management module relative to the module used for
server trunking. However, it is still a requirement that the module that has the server trunk group’s lead ports
cannot reside in slot 8.
VLANs
In release 07.6.01b, you could configure only up to 2195 Layer 2 VLANs on the ProCurve 9315M routing switch.
The system-max vlan <num> command allowed you to allocate a higher number of VLANs, but the software
allowed you to actually create only 2195 of the allocated VLANs.
Starting with release 07.6.04, this restriction has been removed. You can create the full number of allocated Layer
2 VLANs on the 15-slot ProCurve 9315M routing switch, up to 4095.
Enhancements and Configuration Notes in 07.8.03
On ProCurve 9300M Series routing switches, no new software enhancements are supported in software release
07.8.03.
