Features of HP Hub & Switch Management

■Scalable solutions from 10 Mbps to Gigabit Ethernet

■Blocks unwanted traffic with Protocol Filtering

HP Proactive Networking products save time, money and increase produc­ tivity. The agent-enabled, web-based management component of Proactive Networking is embedded in newly introduced HP managed hubs and switches. It consists of a Java-based Web agent and an embedded web server. In the past, if you wanted to see a graphical representation of your network or get device- specific information, you had to first load management software on a specific station and then be at that station to view the screens.

You can now use most Web browsers that supports Java and frames. There is no need to learn a new application. You see the same interface with the same look and feel —Java is operating-system independent. You can use a Web browser on any networked computer, day or night, to configure, control, and monitor networking devices (managed hubs and switches), and to query faults from any of these devices. You will immediately see the reduced cost of ownership, since the devices can be managed with minimal effort anytime, anywhere, and with any platform.

Using your Web browser, you can now perform network management func­ tions for several HP devices.

Note: The device must have an IP address in order to be managed with a browser. The management station must also have an IP address.
