TFTP Download from a Server Syntax: copy tftp flash [< primary | secondary >] Note that if you do not specify the flash destination, the TFTP download defaults to the primary flash. For example, to download a software file named R_11_04.swi from a TFTP server with the IP address of 10.28.227.103: 1. Execute the copy command as shown below: ProCurve # copy tftp flash 10.28.227.103 R_11_04.sw ...

Xmodem Download From a PC or Unix Workstation This procedure assumes that: ■ The switch is connected via the Console RS-232 port on a PC operating as a terminal. (Refer to the Installation Guide you received with the switch for information on connecting a PC as a terminal and running the switch console interface.) ■ The switch software is stored on a disk drive in the PC. ■ The terminal emulator you are using incl ...

Saving Configurations While Using the CLI Saving Configurations While Using the CLI The switch operates with two configuration files: ■ Running-Config File: Exists in volatile memory and controls switch operation. Rebooting the switch erases the current running-config file and replaces it with an exact copy of the current startup-config file. To save a configuration change, you must save the running configuration to t ...

Switch Management Access Security Enforcing Switch Security ProCurve switches are designed as “plug and play” devices, allowing quick and easy installation in your network. However, when preparing the switch for network operation, ProCurve strongly recommends that you enforce a security policy to help ensure that the ease in getting started is not used by unauthorized persons as an opportunity for access and possible malicio ...

Switch Management Access Security It is important to evaluate the level of management access vulnerability existing in your network and take steps to ensure that all reasonable security precautions are in place. This includes both configurable security options and physical access to the switch hardware. Local Manager Password In the default configuration, there is no password protection. Configuring a local Manager password is a ...

Switch Management Access Security SNMP Access (Simple Network Management Protocol) In the default configuration, the switch is open to access by management stations running SNMP management applications capable of viewing or changing usernames, passwords, configuration, and status data in the switch’s MIB (Management Information Base). Thus, controlling SNMP access to the switch and preventing unauthorized SNMP access should b ...

Switch Management Access Security Note on SNMP Access to Local Authentication MIB Objects Downloading and booting R.11.04 or later software versions for the first time enables SNMP access to the switch’s local authentication configuration MIB objects (the default action). If SNMPv3 and other security safeguards are not in place, the local username and password MIB objects are exposed to unprotected SNMP access and you should ...

Network Security Features Other Provisions for Management Access Security Authorized IP Managers. This feature uses IP addresses and masks to determine whether to allow management access to the switch through the network, and covers access through the following: ■ Telnet and other terminal emulation applications ■ The switch’s Web browser interface ■ SNMP (with a correct community name) Secure Management VLAN. This feat ...

Network Security Features ■ switch SSH and user password authentication: this option is a subset of the client public- key authentication, and is used if the switch has SSH enabled without a login access configured to authenticate the client’s key. In this case, the switch authenticates itself to clients, and users on SSH clients then authenticate themselves to the switch by providing passwords stored on a RADIUS or TACACS+ ...

Clarifications General Switch Traffic Security Guideline Where the switch is running multiple security options, it implements network traffic security based on the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection model) precedence of the individual options, from the lowest to the highest. The following list shows the order in which the switch implements configured security features on traffic moving through a gi ...

■ The Management and Configuration Guide, dated December 2007, in pages 10-25, 10-26, and 10-27 incorrectly indicates that the QoS Passthrough Mode is disabled by default. The factory default for QoS Passthrough Mode is enabled. ■ The Management and Configuration Guide, dated November 2008, beginning on page B- 20, describes the loop protection features. In cases where spanning tree cannot be used to prevent loop ...
