Firmware Enhancements; Network Management - HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB Installation And Reference Manual

Firmware Enhancements

Hewlett-Packard continually tests and improves its products. When firmware enhancements
are made to the HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB, you will be able to easily update it with the new
code. The update can be made from a PC attached to the bridge's console port (directly or
through a modem), or the bridge's new code can be downloaded over the network. The update
procedures are described in documents that come with the new code.
Contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer or local HP sales office for the latest on firmware
enhancements to this bridge.

Network Management

The HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB has software that allows it to be managed remotely by any
network management product that complies with the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) standard. HP offers SNMP-compliant network management products; both
DOS-based and UNIX-based versions are available. These products use a windows interface to:
manage multiple HP bridges and other HP network devices
automatically generate a graphic display of the network map
gather network traffic statistics
configure ports
run tests of the bridge
test network links to other devices
Note
The functionality provided by HP network management products is improved on
a regular basis. For more information on the capabilities of these products,
contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer or local HP sales office.
