Only revision "B" mini-GBICs are supported. This product requires ProCurve revision "B" or later mini-GBICs (product number ends with the letter "B", for example J4858B, J4859B). These switches do not support revision "A" mini-GBICs. Non-ProCurve mini-GBICs are not supported. Use of genuine products ensures that your network maintains optimal performance and reliability. Should you require additional ProCurve mini-GBICs, please contact a ProCurve sales representative or an authorized reseller.

ProCurve PoE ports support the IEEE 802.3af standard. Some pre-standard devices have also been successfully tested with the ProCurve 3500yl and 5400zl switches. The Series 5400zl switches are used as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device providing PoE power to the Powered Devices (PDs) through the 24 Gig-T PoE module (J8702A), or the 20-port Gig-T plus 4 mini-GBIC PoE module (J8705A).

No. If meshing is configured on the switch, the routing features (IP routing, RIP, and OSPF) must be disabled. The switch's meshing and routing features cannot be enabled at the same time. The ProCurve 5400zl, 3500yl, and 6200yl switches are compatible with the meshing feature on the 5300xl and 3400cl Series switches. There is no backward-compatibility mode for interoperation with a ProCurve Switch 4000M mesh. See similar questions...

ProCurve Networking Business recommends IEEE standards-based features for device discovery. To this end, the IEEE 802.1ab standard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is supported. It provides for device discovery for network management platforms and switch neighbor discovery. Yes, ProCurve uses IP addressing in the hashing decisions that determine which link a packet traverses after it is routed on the 6200, 5400, 5300 and the 3500. See similar questions...

Total ACEs in all ACLs: Depends on the combined resource usage by ACL, QoS, IDM, Virus-Throttling, ICMP, and Management VLAN features For more on this topic, refer to "Monitoring Shared Resources" in the Advanced Traffic Management Guide. See similar questions...

PoE power is provided on the Data Pairs (1&2 and 3&6). With ProCurve's Auto-MDIX feature, even though you may use a straight-thru cable for switch-to-switch connections, the PoE power will always be presented to the device on the 1&2 and 3&6 pins. 802.3af compliant Powered Devices accept power over either implementation scheme (data or unused pairs), and furthermore, are designed to be insensitive to the polarity of the DC power. See similar questions...

ProCurve Manager (PCM) can discover the ProCurve Switch 1800 Series, and place them on the network topology map. Once the switch is discovered, PCM can be used to launch the ProCurve Switch 1800 series Web UI. See similar questions...

There is an ordering guide available that can help you determine your power supply needs, based on the PoE and redundancy demands of your environment. See similar questions...

No, the ProCurve Switch 1800 Series does not support any of the Spanning Tree Protocols (802.1s, 802.1D, or 802.1w). In addition to not supporting Spanning Tree, the switch will not pass Spanning Tree BPDUs (destination MAC = 01:80:C2:00:00:00) from upstream devices. Result: STP Disabled device passes the STP BPDUs from STP enabled device. See similar questions...

The 1800 Series Switches are Web Managed switches. This means that the Web interface is the only method for managing and configuring the switch. The 1800 Series Switches have a user-friendly Web interface and are designed to allow users to add basic capabilities to their without adding complexity. The 1800 Series Switches do not have a console port or command line interface and do not support SNMP management. See similar questions...

The SNMP functionality is read-only and is used by ProCurve Manager to discover and map the device. SNMP cannot be used to configure the switch or send SNMP traps to a trap receiver. See similar questions...

The default IP address is 192.168.2.10 with a 24 bit subnet mask (255.255.255.0). Further information about initial switch configuration is available in the Installation and Getting Started Guide. See similar questions...

If you have forgotten the switch's IP address or administration password you can return the switch to its factory default state by following these steps: After completing this procedure, the password will be empty, the network address will be returned to the default 192.168.2.10, and all configuration settings will be returned to the original factory defaults.

The following modules are also available. Note that these modules are managed using one of the management modules listed in the previous question. J4143A HP ProCurve 9300 Gigabit-SX Module, which provides 8 1000Base-SX ports with SC connectors for 50 or 62. See similar questions...

There is only one "EP" redundant management module available for the HP ProCurve Routing Switches. A maximum of 2 redundant management modules are supported in a chassis. J4885A HP ProCurve 9300 EP 8-Port Mini-GBIC Redundant Management Module, which provides 8 open slots for Gigabit Mini-GBICs. See similar questions...

The HP ProCurve Routing Switches support 4 user-configurable QoS priority levels on a per-port or global (per system) basis. See similar questions...

One management module must be configured for each HP ProCurve Routing Switch 9304m or 9308m chassis. You can choose from the following: J4141A HP ProCurve 9300 10/100 Management Module, which provides 16 10/100Base-TX ports with RJ-45 connectors J4144A HP ProCurve 9300 Gigabit-SX Management Module, which provides 8 1000Base-SX ports with SC connectors for 50 or 62.

The following "EP" modules are also available. Note that these modules are managed with the "EP" redundant management module listed in the previous question. J4881A/B HP ProCurve 9300 EP 48-Port 10/100-TX RJ-45 Module, which provides 48 10/100Base-TX ports with RJ-45 connectors. J4889A/B HP ProCurve 9300 EP 48-Port 10/100-TX Telco (RJ-21) Module, which provides 48 10/100Base-TX ports with RJ-21 connectors. See similar questions...

If you are using a management application like ProCurve Manager, you may be able to check on the IP address there. If you configured the switch to receive a DHCP address, (DHCP is turned off by default) you may be able to check the DHCP server for a list of leased addresses by searching for the switch MAC address (printed on the outside of your ProCurve 1800 Switch). See similar questions...

The Web interface inactivity time out is 300 seconds. The purpose of the inactivity time out is for security. If the administrator logs in and forgets to log out, it will automatically log them out, so no intruder can operate the switch. See similar questions...
