Operating Notes for Jumbo Traffic-Handling

In the Management and Configuration Guide, (Oct., 2005 version) on page 14-33 ( page 347 of the .pdf file) where it states:

When a port is not a member of any jumbo-enabled VLAN, it drops all jumbo traffic. If the port is receiving “excessive” inbound jumbo traffic, the port generates an Event Log message to notify you of this condition. This same condition generates a Fault-Finder message in the Alert log of the switch’s web browswer interface, and also increments the switch’s “Giant Rx” counter.

Note that it is the “Total Rx Errors” counter that is incremented, not the “Giant Rx” counter. On the 3400cl and 6400cl series switches, when the switch applies the jumbo MTU to a VLAN, all frames with jumbo MTU sizes (1523 to 9220 bytes) are incremented to “Total Rx Errors”.

Non-Genuine Mini-GBIC Detection and Protection Initiative

Non-genuine ProCurve Transceivers and Mini-GBICs have been offered for sale in the marketplace. To protect customer networks from these unsupported products, ProCurve switch software includes the capability to detect and disable non-genuine transceivers and mini-GBICs discovered in Series 3400cl Switch ports. When a non-genuine device is discovered, the switch disables the port and generates an error message in the Event Log.
