Advantages of Using ProCurve Manager or ProCurve Manager Plus

segments with the highest traffic, or even the top users within a
network segment.
• Group and Policy Management: Changes in configuration are
tracked and logged, and archived configurations can be applied to one
or many devices. Configurations can be compared over time or
between two devices, with the differences highlighted for users.
• Advanced VLAN Management: A new, easy-to-use VLAN manage­
ment interface allows users to create and assign VLANs across the
entire network, without having to access each network device indi­
vidually.
• Device Software Updates: This feature automatically obtains new
device software images from ProCurve and updates devices, allowing
users to download the latest version or choose the desired version.
Updates can be scheduled easily across large groups of devices, all at
user-specified times.
• Investment Protection: The modular software architecture of
ProCurve Manager Plus enables ProCurve to offer network adminis­
trators add-on software solutions that complement their needs.
