Clarifications

The following clarification or updates apply to documentation for the ProCurve 3500yl Series, 6200yl

Series, and 5400zl Series switches as of February 2007.

■ Enabling Jumbo Frames and Flow Control:

The 3500yl, 5400zl, and 6200yl switches support simultaneous use of Jumbo Frames and Flow

Control. (The earlier version of the Management and Configuration Guide incorrectly

stated that these features could not be enabled at the same time.)

■ Clarification for the Number of IP addresses and maximum VLANs that can be

configured on the switch:

You can configure a maximum of 512 routed VLANs per switch. A VLAN can be configured with

up to 32 IP addresses. However, the maximum number of IP addresses configurable on the switch

is 2048, so it is not possible to configure up to the maximum number of routed VLANs (512) with

32 IP addresses each. For example, if you wanted to use all available IP addresses for the switch

and utilize all 512 possible routed VLANS with as many assigned IP addresses as possible, the

configuration is calculated as follows:

512 routed VLANs x 4 IP addresses per VLAN = 2048 total IP addresses.

(refer to the Advanced Traffic Management Guide for additional details)

■ TACACS+ Encryption Key Exclusion from TFTP Copies

When using the copy command to transfer a configuration to a TFTP server, any server-

specific or global encryption keys in the TACACS+ configuration will not be included in the

transferred file. Otherwise, a security breach could occur, allowing access to the TACACS+

username/password information.

■ RIP and OSPF Redistribution:

RIP operation supports static, connected, and OSPF route redistribution. OSPF operation

supports static, connected, and RIP route redistribution. (The earlier version of the Advanced

Traffic Management Guide omitted RIP and OSPF route redistribution.)
