9.0 Installation and Preparation of the TMS zl Module
In brief review, we have gathered a conceptual understanding of the TMS zl Module, we have a more
in-depth understanding of common placement scenarios for the TMS zl Module, we have gained an
awareness of HP ProCurve best practices recommendations, and we have stepped through a discovery
and planning methodology accounting for different placement scenarios and features. We are now ready
to physically install and begin configuring the module(s).
9.1 Installing the ProCurve Threat Management Services zl
Module
While more detailed information is available in the HP ProCurve TMS zl Module
manuals, this section provides a condensed, only-what-you-need-to-know process for
installing and configuring. You can consult both the HP ProCurve Threat Management
Services zl Module Management and Configuration Guide and especially the HP
ProCurve Switch Threat Management Services zl Module Installation and Getting
Started Guide for more additional details around this topic.
9.1.1 Updating Switch Software
HP ProCurve recommends that the switch software first be updated to an
image that supports the TMS zl Module. At the time this document was
written, that was K.13.51 and above.
As shown below, the show modules command in a switch running too early of
a version of software will not properly recognize the installed TMS zl Modules
