TFTP file transfers over IPv6

You can use TFTP copy commands over IPv6 to upload or download files to and from a physically

connected device or a remote TFTP server, including:

• Switch software

• Software images

• Switch configurations

• ACL command files

• Diagnostic data (crash data, crash log, and event log)

For information on how to configure TFTP file transfers between the switch and a TFTP server or

other host device on the network, see the "File Transfers" appendix in the Management and

Configuration Guide for your switch.

SNMP management for IPv6

As with SNMP for IPv4, you can manage a switch via SNMP from an IPv6-based network

management station by using an application such as HP PCM or HP PCM+. (For more information

on PCM and PCM+, go to the HP Switch Networking web site at http:www.hp.com/networking/

support.)

SNMP features supported

The same SNMP for IPv4 features are supported over IPv6:

• Access to a switch using SNMP version 1, version 2c, or version 3

• Enhanced security with the configuration of SNMP communities and SNMPv3 user-specific

authentication password and privacy (encryption) settings

• SNMP notifications, including:

SNMP version 1 or SNMP version 2c traps•

• SNMPv2c informs

• SNMPv3 notification process, including traps

• Advanced RMON (remote monitoring) management

• HP PCM or HP PCM+ management applications

• Flow sampling using sFlow

• Standard MIBs, such as the Bridge MIB (RFC 1493) and the Ethernet MAU MIB (RFC 1515)
