ip

IP addressing: Configures the switch with an IP address and

Management and Configuration Guide

 

subnet mask to communicate on the network and support

 

 

remote management access; configures multiple IP

 

 

addresses on a VLAN.

 

iplock

IP Lockdown: Prevents IP source address spoofing on a per-

Access Security Guide

 

port and per-VLAN basis by forwarding only the IP packets in

 

 

VLAN traffic that contain a known source IP address and MAC

 

 

address binding for the port.

 

ipx

Novell Netware protocol filtering: On the basis of protocol

Access Security Guide

 

type, the switch can forward or drop traffic to a specific set of

 

 

destination ports on the switch.

 

lacp

LACP trunks: The switch can either automatically establish an

Management and Configuration Guide

 

802.3ad-compliant trunk group or provide a manually

 

 

configured, static LACP trunk.

 

ldbal

Load balancing in LACP port trunks or 802.1s Multiple

Management and Configuration Guide

 

Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP) that uses VLANs in a network

to improve network resource utilization and maintain a loop-

 

 

free environment.

 

lldp

Link-Layer Discovery Protocol: Supports transmitting LLDP

Management and Configuration Guide

 

packets to neighbor devices and reading LLDP packets

 

 

received from neighbor devices, enabling a switch to

 

 

advertise itself to adjacent devices and to learn about

 

 

adjacent LLDP devices.

 

macauth

Web and MAC authentication: Port-based security employed

Access Security Guide

 

on the network edge to protect private networks and the

 

 

switch itself from unauthorized access using one of the

 

 

following interfaces:

 

 

• Web page login to authenticate users for access to the

 

 

network

 

 

• RADIUS server that uses a device’s MAC address for

 

 

authentication

 

maclock

MAC lockdown and MAC lockout

Access Security Guide

 

• MAC lockdown prevents station movement and MAC

 

 

address “hijacking” by requiring a MAC address to be used

 

 

only an assigned port on the switch. MAC Lockdown also

 

 

restricts the client device to a specific VLAN.

 

 

• MAC lockout blocks a specific MAC address so that the

 

 

switch drops all traffic to or from the specified address.

ProCurve Manager (PCM) and ProCurve Manager Plus

(PCM+): Windows-based network management solutions for

 

 

managing and monitoring performance of ProCurve devices.

 

 

PCM messages also include events for configuration

 

 

operations.
