Selecting a Management Interface
Advantages of Using ProCurve Manager or ProCurve Manager Plus
RMON and sFlow, users can monitor overall traffic levels, segments
with the highest traffic, or even the top users within a network
segment.
• Group and Policy Management: Changes in configuration are
tracked and logged, and archived configurations can be applied to one
or many devices. Configurations can be compared over time or
between two devices, with the differences highlighted for users.
• Advanced VLAN Management: A new, easy-to-use VLAN manage-
ment interface allows users to create and assign VLANs across the
entire network, without having to access each network device indi-
vidually.
• 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.
