Proactive Networking

The HP Procurve Switch 2650 has built-in management capabilities that

proactively help you manage your network including:

■ finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions

(for example, faulty network cabling, and non-standard network topolo-

gies)

■ informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages

■ recommending network configuration changes to enhance the perfor-

mance of your network

The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can

be used to monitor the switch and its network connections and to help you

take advantage of these proactive networking features:

■ HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches - an SNMP-based network management

tool that is included with your switch.

■ A graphical web browser interface that you can use to manage your switch

from a PC running a supported web browser, for example Microsoft

Internet Explorer, and Netscape Communicator.

■ A full-featured easy-to-use console interface that you can access by

connecting a standard terminal or PC running a terminal emulator to the

switch’s console port. The cable to make that connection is provided with

your switch. The console interface is also accessible through a Telnet

connection.

For more information on using these software tools to diagnose and manage

your switch, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the Management and

Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came

with your switch.
