different network deployment scenarios, including Fast Ethernet, edge client connectivity, and wiring
closet deployments. Because these switches adhere stringently to industry standards, they can be

Management

Management

Supports a number of industry-standard management interfaces such as web-based management,
Command Line Interface (CLI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP v1/v2c/v3). For large
network environments, HP's SIM™ provides management control to more easily configure large numbers
of deployed switches. HP Systems Insight Manager merges the best features of Insight Manager,
Toptools, and Servicecontrol Manager to deliver unified management of HP hardware products

Robust Security

Advanced security features help protect the network from accidental or malicious interference. MAC-
based port security and MAC-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) are designed to prevent unauthorized
MAC addresses from accessing the network SNMPv3, SSL and SSH encryption offer the added security of
encrypting switch management traffic. RADIUS and TACACS+ support enables centralized, remote
authentication of administrative access to the switch. Management access filtering provides a mechanism
to limit network hosts that have access to the switches using a wide array of options, such as MAC
address, IP address, and VLAN.
