Addition Information
- ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 has all of the features of ProCurve Manager 2.2, along with:
- In-depth traffic analysis: An integrated, low-overhead traffic monitor interface shows detailed information on traffic throughout the network. Using enhanced traffic analysis protocols such as XRMON and sFlow, the user can monitor Input and output traffic levels per device, segments with the highest traffic, or even the top users within a network segment.
- Policy creation and enforcement: ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 brings the ability to create policies, set alerts, and take action to enforce network or device policies. Network threats, bandwidth, or link issues can be mitigated by proactive policies and enforced with alerts and actions. NEW!
- Easier configuration 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 the user.
- Advanced VLAN management: A new, easy-to-use VLAN management interface allows the user to create and assign VLANs across the entire network, without having to access each network device individually.
- Audit change reporting: ProCurve Manager Plus now provides a configuration change log for all configuration changes. The audit log is provided to help customers meet compliance reporting regulations. NEW!
- Device software updates: ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 automatically obtains new device software images from ProCurve and updates devices, allowing the user 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 ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 will allow ProCurve to offer network administrators add-on software solutions that complement their needs.
- SNMPv3: ProCurve Manager uses the secure SNMPv3 management protocol to help ensure the privacy of management data between the management server and the managed devices. It is integrated with HP OpenView's Network Node Manager implementation of SNMPv3.
- HP OpenView Network Node Manager Windows integration:
- Installation: The option to integrate with HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) Windows may be selected at installation. ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 will then integrate with the 6.41 and 7.x versions of NNM.
- Auto-discovery coordinated with OpenView Network Node Manager: When integrated with NNM, ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 will use NNM's discovery database and then retrieve additional ProCurve device data for the ProCurve Manager Plus database.
- Topology mapping: When integrated with NNM, ProCurve Manager Plus will provide ProCurve device icons to the NNM topology map. The NNM topology map will be the primary mapping mechanism, with the option to launch the ProCurve Manager map views as well. This allows easy identification of ProCurve devices and allows the user, via right mouse button selection, to retrieve a ProCurve Manager Plus map of all selected ProCurve devices.
- Network management security:
- Secure shell for telnet and command-line interface (CLI): Secure shell (SSH) provides encrypted data when ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 is accessing a device via telnet and CLI. This helps ensure that changes to network devices are safe from tampering by hackers.
- RADIUS authentication of network management administrators: ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 can be configured to use the RADIUS industry-standard protocol to authenticate network management administrators. This authentication approach allows for simplified and standardized user administration.
- Advanced monitoring and diagnosis:
- Inter-switch consistency checking between connected ports: Switches connected to one another in a network should have consistent configurations on each side of the connected ports. ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 checks these parameters to help ensure the proper reliable behavior occurs over these links. Parameters checked include VLAN ID and name, full-duplex/half-duplex, VLAN tagged vs. untagged packets, QoS, and priorities. These checks save administrator diagnosis time and ensure reliable data exchange.
- BootROM consistency check: ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 checks BootROMs during the firmware update process to ensure that the target firmware has the required BootROM before updating of the firmware is allowed. This prevents network downtime and alerts administrators of needed upgrades before errors occur.
- Find Port diagnostic capabilities: ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 provides the ability to find a switch port when given an IP or MAC address. This function can be initiated manually by the administrator or automatically by an external event. This enables administrators to automatically isolate problems to specific ports and take automated corrective action, saving time and reducing network downtime.
- Enable port mirroring and remote port mirroring on select ProCurve switches: ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 can set port mirroring and remote port mirroring ports on select advanced ProCurve switches.
- Friendly port names: ProCurve Manager Plus 2.2 allows the administrator to set and display friendly port names.
- Command-line interface:
- CLI command policies saved by name: Configuration policies represented by a series of CLI commands can be saved by a unique name to be executed again for repetitive tasks.
- CLI policies can be triggered by external events: Configuration policies represented as a series of CLI-like commands can be automatically executed when configurable external events trigger them.
