Using the ProCurve Web Browser Interface

Support/Mgmt URLs Feature

Support URL

This is the site the switch accesses when you click on the Support tab on the web browser interface. The default URL is:

www.procurve.com

which is the World Wide Web site for ProCurve networking products. Click on technical support on that page to get support information regarding your switch, including white papers, software updates, and more.

As an alternative, you can replace the ProCurve URL with the URL for a local site used for logging reports on network performance or other support activ­ ities.

Help and the Management Server URL

The Management Server URL field specifies the URL the switch uses to find online Help for the web browser interface.

If you install PCM (ProCurve Manager) in your network, the PCM manage­ ment station acts as the web browser Help server for the switch and automatically inserts the necessary URL in this field. For more on the option, see “Using the PCM Server for Switch Web Help” on page 5-14.)

In the default configuration (and if PCM is not running on your network) this field is set to the URL for accessing online Help from the ProCurve Networking web site:

www.hp.com/rnd/device_help

Using this option, the Help files are automatically available if your work­ station can access the World Wide Web. In this case, if Online Help fails to operate, ensure that the above URL appears in the Management Server URL field shown in Figure 5-7:
