Proactive Networking

The Series 5400zl Switches have built-in management capabilities that

proactively help you manage your network including:

■ finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions

(for example, faulty network cabling, and non-standard network

topologies)

■ informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages

■ recommending network configuration changes to enhance the

performance of your network

The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can

be used to monitor the switch and its network connections, and to help you

take advantage of these proactive networking features:

■ ProCurve Manager - an SNMP-based network management tool included

with your switch

■ A graphical web browser interface you can use to manage your switch

from a PC that is running a supported web browser, for example Microsoft

Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.

■ A full-featured easy-to-use console interface you can access by merely

connecting a standard terminal or PC running a terminal emulator to the

switch’s console port. The cable to make that connection is provided with

your switch. The console interface is also accessible through a telnet

connection.

See the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the Management and Configuration

Guide for more information on using these software tools to diagnose and

manage your switch, which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for

details.
