Operating Notes - HP ProCurve J8162A Supplementary Manual

Operating Notes

Bridged protocols, such as Appletalk, are supported through a single
downlink client port, whose client VLAN contains the downlink port
as an untagged member. This must be configured manually on the
switch. Each ACM may have one downlink client port configured to
support bridged protocols.
HP recommends that a downlink client port be a member of only one
client VLAN. Downlink client ports should not be members of any
other VLANs, as this would allow access to unauthorized clients. If a
downlink client port must be a member of another VLAN, configure
filtering on the 740wl or 760wl to remove network traffic that might
be sent to unauthorized ports.
HP recommends that you create a Management VLAN on your 5300xl
switch. This secures the management of the 5300xl switch, allowing
it to be managed only by members of the Management VLAN.
Client-to-client communications is not possible through an ACM.
ProCurve Manager does not support the ACM at this time. Support is
expected later in 2005.
BIOS POST Event Log Messages
If a critical BIOS power on self test (POST) failure occurs when the ACM is
inserted into a slot in a 5300xl chassis, the message below is posted to the
Event Log. The 5300xl switch resets the ACM, up to two times (a total of three
attempts to pass the POST). If the ACM fails three consecutive times, the
module does not power on. The 5300xl switch can operate successfully if this
occurs.
