General Setup Procedure for Web/MAC
Authentication
Note- Web and MAC Authentication are available on these current HP ProCurve
switch models:
HP ProCurve Series 2600 and 2600-PWR Switches
HP ProCurve Series 2800 Switches
Do These Steps Before You Configure Web/MAC
Authentication
1. Configure a local username and password on the switch for both the
Operator (login) and Manager (enable) access levels. (While this is not
required for a Web- or MAC-based configuration, HP recommends that
you use a local user name and password pair, at least until your other
security measures are in place, to protect the switch configuration from
unauthorized access.)
2. Determine which ports on the switch you want to operate as authentica-
tors. Note that before you configure Web- or MAC-based authentication
on a port operating in an LACP trunk, you must remove the port from the
trunk. (refer to the
“Note on Web/MAC Authentication and LACP” on
page 3-12.)
3. Determine whether any VLAN assignments are needed for authenticated
clients.
