Selecting a Management Interface
Advantages of Using ProCurve Manager or ProCurve Manager Plus
• Device Software Updates: This feature automatically obtains new
device software images from ProCurve and updates devices, allowing
users to download the latest version or choose the desired version.
Updates can be scheduled easily across large groups of devices, all at
user-specified times.
• Investment Protection: The modular software architecture of Pro-
Curve Manager Plus will allow ProCurve to offer network administra-
tors add-on software solutions that complement their needs.
Custom Login Banners for the Console and
Web Browser Interfaces
You can configure the switch to display a login banner of up to 3070 characters
when an operator initiates a management session with the switch through any
of the following methods:
â– Telnet
â– serial connection
â– SSHv2
â– Web browser
The default banner displays product registration information; the copyright
splash is no longer displayed.
If a banner is configured, the banner page is displayed when you access the
Web user interface. The default product registration information is not
displayed as there is already a product registration prompt displayed in the
Web user interface.
Banner Operation with Telnet, Serial, or SSHv2 Access
When a system operator begins a login session, the switch displays the banner
above the local password prompt or, if no password is configured, above the
Press any key to continue prompt. Entering a correct password or, if no password
is configured, pressing any key clears the banner from the CLI and displays
the CLI prompt. (Refer to Figure 2-5 on page 2-11.)
Banner Operation with Web Browser Access
When a system operator uses a Web browser to access the switch, the text of
a non-default banner configured on the switch appears in a dedicated banner
window with a link to the Web agent home page. Clicking on To Home Page
