| Topics |
-
Major features of ProCurve Manager (PCM), ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+), ProCurve Identity Driven Manager, and ProCurve Mobility Manager.
-
Procedures for installing ProCurve Manager, ProCurve Identity Driven Manager, and ProCurve Mobility Manager, the licensing and registration procedures for these applications, and the process for updating the software
-
Overview of the PCM user interface, how to add PCM user types, and how the network device discovery process operates
-
Various device management tools and facilities of PCM including managing device access communication parameters, managing custom groups, accessing device management interfaces from PCM, and several network and logging tools
-
How to use PCM to manage software updates for ProCurve network devices. Includes how the process can be automated and manually managed
-
Features of the Configuration Manager which include scanning devices to collect configuration information, deploying a scanned configuration, sending a stream of CLI commands to a device, creating a configuration template that uses IP address substitution, and deploying a configuration template to one or more devices
-
Features of the VLAN Manager (a component of PCM+). The VLAN Manager allows administrators to create, modify, and manage VLANs for multiple devices at the same time
-
Features of the Policy Manager (a component of PCM+). The Policy Manager allows administrators to create, modify, and manage policies that perform a variety configuration and management tasks for multiple devices at the same time
-
Describe the Traffic Monitor (a component of PCM+). The Traffic Monitor allows administrators to monitor network traffic on links throughout a network and examine performance statistics that include link utilization percentage and packet transmission rates
-
Features that provide events and alerts management; the Events Browser allows you to examine incoming events from PCM application components and SNMP traps from managed devices
-
Describe the Configurable Integration Platform (CIP) that is supported by PCM+. The CIP allows administrators to customize the user interface and extend the capabilities of PCM+.
-
ProCurve Identity Driven Manager (an add-on application to PCM+). IDM extends the functionality of PCM+ to include authorization control features for edge devices in networks using RADIUS servers, Web-authentication, MAC-authentication, and 802.1X security protocols.
-
Primary tasks the administrator performs when configuring ProCurve Identity Driven Manager to provide access control for network users. The IDM reporting features are also briefly covered.
-
ProCurve Mobility Manager (an add-on application to PCM+). ProCurve Mobility Manager provides configuration and management capabilities for ProCurve Access Points that include the wireless configurations, radio properties, and WLAN security. |

- Update the software for ProCurve Manager, ProCurve Identity Driven Manager, ProCurve Mobility Manager, and ProCurve network devices
- Discover network devices and describe how network device discovery operates and examine physical network, subnet, and VLAN maps
- Perform common device management and configuration tasks using PCM tools and access the device management interfaces from PCM
- Use the Traffic Monitor to collect network activity statistics using XRMON, sFlow, and SNMP MIB facilities
- Use the Events Browser to examine incoming events and trigger alerts based on incoming events
- Use the Configurable Integration Platform to customize PCM
- Use ProCurve Identity Driven Manager to implement network access controls
-
Use ProCurve Mobility Manager to manage and configure ProCurve wireless access points |
