Documented in HP Switch
hardware/software guide
DescriptionSystem module
switches in the same IP subnet
(broadcast domain), resulting in a
reduced number of IP addresses and
simplified management of small
workgroups for scaling your network
to handle increased bandwidth
demand.
Advanced Traffic Management GuideMultiple-instance spanning tree
protocol/MSTP (802.1s): Ensures that
stp
only one active path exists between
any two nodes in a group of VLANs
in the network. MSTP operation is
designed to avoid loops and
broadcast storms of duplicate
messages that can bring down the
network.
Management and Configuration Guide
Access Security Guide
Switch management, including system
configuration, switch bootup,
system
activation of boot ROM image,
memory buffers, traffic and security
filters.
System messages also include events
from management interfaces (menu,
CLI, and HP PCM+) used to
reconfigure the switch and monitor
switch status and performance.
Access Security GuideTACACS+ authentication: A central
server is used to control access to the
tacacs
switches (and other TACACS-aware
devices) in the network through a
switch's console port (local access) or
Telnet (remote access.)
Advanced Traffic Management GuideTransmission Control Protocol: A
transport protocol that runs on IP and
is used to set up connections.
tcp
Management and Configuration GuideSession established on the switch from
a remote device through the Telnet
virtual terminal protocol.
telnet
Management and Configuration GuideTrivial File Transfer Protocol: Supports
the download of files to the switch
from a TFTP network server.
tftp
Management and Configuration GuideTime Protocol: Synchronizes and
ensures a uniform time among
interoperating devices.

Access Security GuideUni-directional Link Detection:
Monitors a link between two switches
udld
and blocks the ports on both ends of
the link if the link fails at any point
between the two devices.
Multicast and Routing GuideUDP broadcast forwarding: Supports
the forwarding of client requests sent
udpf
as limited IP broadcasts addressed to
a UDP application port on a network
server.
