S u p p or t N o t i c e s :
WARNING. Updating to Version K.13.xx: . It is important that you update to K.13.xx from a
configuration that has not been previously converted from a pre-K.13.xx format (e.g. a K.11.xx or
K.12.xx configuration). If you have previously updated to K.13.xx and rolled back to K.12.xx to
workaround an issue, you should load a saved K.12.xx configuration to the switch and boot to it prior
to updating to K.13 again.
Performing major software updates: Before updating your software version from K.12.xx to
K.13.xx, read the recommended best practices for performing major software updates
Restriction in number of ACL mirror destinations: The K.13.01 software introduced a new
restriction to a single ACL mirror destination. For more information, see "Restriction in number of
ACL mirror destinations
PIM-SM: PIM-SM users should make sure ProCurve switches that run K software should all be on
the either pre-K.13.21 or post-K.13.21 versions of software due to a bug fix in K.13.21 that changes
the way a rendezvous point is chosen.

    Download Switch Documentation and Software from the Web Using USB to Download Switch Software To use the USB port on the switch to download a software version from a USB flash drive: ■ The software version must be stored on the USB flash drive, and you must know the file name (such as K_12_10.swi).
  • Page 17: Saving Configurations While Using The Cli

    When you use the CLI to make a configuration change, the switch places the change in the running-config file. If you want to preserve the change across reboots, you must save the change to the startup-config file.
  • Page 18: Best Practices For Major Software Updates

    C a u t i o n Before you update the switch software to a major new version, ProCurve strongly recommends that you save off a copy of your config file to an external location. ProCurve advises against rolling back (going from a newer software version to an older software version) without copying on a backup config file to the device.
  • Page 19: Updating The Switch: Detailed Steps

    This will ensure that you can use our proposed roll back procedures should the need arise. Updating the Switch: Detailed Steps The following detailed steps shows how to update the switch software from an existing version to a major new release (in the example provided here, from version K.12.57 to version K.13.06).

  • Page 23: Viewing Or Transferring Alternate Configuration Files

    For example, if a configuration is created on K.12.57 and saved as config2, and if it is then viewed or transferred while the switch is running K.13.06, it will appear as though K.13.06 has converted the configuration. However, the alternate configuration file, config2, will still be intact on the switch and load properly when the switch is booted into the same software version from which the configuration file originated.

    Resources (PR_1000388697): When the switch is writing large files to flash (for example, a transfer of a very large configuration or a software update), switch resources may be impacted during the write operation, causing some potential loss of hello packets. This may impact VRRP, OSPF or spanning tree protocol. In order to mitigate potentially undesirable affects, updates to the switch software should be made during a scheduled downtime.

    (e.g. a K.11.xx or K.12.xx configuration). If you have previously updated to K.13.xx and rolled back to K.12.xx to workaround an issue, you should load a saved K.12.xx configuration to the switch and boot to it prior to updating to K.13 again.

  • Page 32 The number of UDP broadcast entries and IP helper addresses combined can be up to 16 per VLAN, with an overall maximum of 2048 on the switch. An earlier version of the Multicast and Routing Guide (page 5-142) had incorrectly stated that the overall maximum is 256.

    For example, if you configure “2” as the priority multiplier for a given port, then the actual priority is 32. Thus, after you specify the port priority multiplier, the switch displays the actual port priority (and not the multiplier) in the show spanning-tree config display. You can view the actual multiplier setting for ports by executing show running and looking for an entry in this form: spanning-tree <port-list>...

  • Page 49 If the port is not already a member of the RADIUS-assigned (static or dynamic) untagged VLAN, the switch temporarily reassigns the port as an untagged member of the required VLAN (for the duration of the session). At the same time, if the ProCurve port is already configured as an untagged member of a different VLAN, the port loses access to the other VLAN for the duration of the session.
  • Page 50 Enhancements Release K.12.05 Enhancements Therefore, on a port where one or more authenticated client sessions are already running, all such clients are on the same untagged VLAN. If a RADIUS server subsequently authenticates a new client, but attempts to re-assign the port to a different, untagged VLAN than the one already in use for the previously existing, authenticated client sessions, the connection for the new client will fail.
  • Page 51 Figure 2. Active Configuration for VLAN 22 Temporarily Changes for the 802.1X Session However, as shown in Figure 1, because VLAN 33 is configured as untagged on port A2 and because a port can be untagged on only one VLAN, port A2 loses access to VLAN 33 for the duration of the 802.1X session on VLAN 22.
  • Page 52 Enhancements Release K.12.05 Enhancements When the 802.1X client session on port A2 ends, the port removes the temporary untagged VLAN membership. The static VLAN (VLAN 33) that is “permanently” configured as untagged on the port becomes available again. Therefore, when the RADIUS-authenticated 802.1X session on port A2 ends, VLAN 22 access on port A2 also ends, and the untagged VLAN 33 access on port A2 is restored as shown in When the 802.1X session...
  • Page 53 However, if a RADIUS-configured dynamic VLAN used for an authentication session is deleted from the switch through normal GVRP operation (for example, if no GVRP advertisements for the VLAN are received on any switch port), authenticated clients using this VLAN are deauthenticated.

    After verifying the configuration, you can then save it permanently by writing the settings to the startup-config file. By permanently saving a switch’s security credentials in a configuration file, you can upload ■ the file to a TFTP server or Xmodem host, and later download the file to the ProCurve switches on which you want to use the same security settings without having to manually configure the settings (except for SNMPv3 user parameters) on each switch.
