Security
The HP 1810 series switch software includes a robust set of built-in denial-of-service (DoS) and storm-
control protections, and allows configuring secure HTTP (HTTPS) management sessions.
Advanced Security
The HP 1810 series switch software provides the following built-in security features:
■ Storm Control—This feature protects against condition where incoming packets flood the
LAN, causing network performance degradation. The software includes Storm Control
protection for unicast, broadcast, and multicast traffic. The traffic is dropped if the rate of
incoming traffic on an interface increases beyond the threshold of 64K pps for
1810-24G/1810-8G
or 4K pps for
1810-24/1810-8.
■ Auto Denial-of-Service (DoS) protections—A DoS attack is an attempt to saturate the switch
with external communication requests to prevent the switch from performing efficiently, or at
all. You can enable Auto DoS protection that prevents common types of DoS attacks.
Caution The DoS feature does not generate any notifications (such as error messages, syslog messages, SNMP
traps) if a DoS attack occurs.
