Security Overview
Introduction
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the security features included on your
switch. Table 1-1 on page 1-3 outlines the access security and authentication
features, while Table 1-2 on page 1-7 highlights the additional features
designed to help secure and protect your network. For detailed information
on individual features, see the references provided.
Before you connect your switch to a network, ProCurve strongly recommends
that you review the section titled “Getting Started with Access Security” on
page 1-10. It outlines potential threats for unauthorized switch and network
access, and provides guidelines on how to prepare the switch for secure
network operation.
