7 Prerequisites Prerequisites Operating System and Web Browser Compatibility The switch Web agent supports the following combinations of OS browsers: Operating System Tested Web Browsers Windows XP SP3 Internet Explorer 7, 8 Firefox 3.0, 3.5 Windows Vista SP2 Internet Explorer 7, 8 Firefox 3.0, 3.5 Windows Server 2003 SP2 Internet Explorer 7, 8 Firefox 3.0, 3.5 Windows Server 2008 SP2 Internet Explorer 7, 8 Firefox 3.0, 3.5 Windows 7 Internet Explorer 8 Firefox 3.0, 3.5 MAC OS Firefox 3.0, 3.5 Installation Instructions HP Networking periodically provides switch software updates through the HP Networking Web site The update software web user interface is used to update the switch software using a file provided by HP Networking. To update the switch software: 1. Click the Browse button to select the software file. 2. Click the Apply button to update the selected switch software file. You can download software files for your switch from the HP Networking website at The switch will automatically reload into the new version of software immediately after the file upload is complete. 3. Current software version - displays the current software version in the switch. 4. Software file - click on the Browse button to select the software file. 5. Web - click support, update software. Note Software updates uploaded to the switch trigger an automatic switch reload. Note Downloading new software does not change the current switch configuration. The switch configuration is contained in a separate file that can also be transferred, for example, for archive purposes or to be used in another switch of the same model. Update Recommendation Routine 5

8 Supersedes Supersedes VA/VB Note Once the update to a software version higher than VA or VB has occurred, the software cannot be rolled back to a pre-va or VB software version. For example, if an HP ProCurve Switch (J9079A) is updated from version VA to version VA.02.02, VA can no longer be installed on the switch. In that case, VA is the earliest software that the switch will support. Product Models Version VA supports this switch: HP ProCurve Switch (J9079A) Version VB supports this switch: HP ProCurve Switch (J9080A) Clarifications and Updates SNMP The number of VLANs or Trunks on the switch does not increase the IfNumber visible in the switch. The switch is designed to use the IP interface as the first IfNumber, plus the number of ports (NO_OF_PORTS). As a result, for an 8-port switch, the IfNumber is 9. Likewise, for a 24-port switch, it is 25. For details, please refer to RFC1213. Port Mirroring Selection of a different port of the drop-down menu may change the settings even without selection of the Apply button. This is behavior as designed. It was clarified in an update to the mirror help page. When the destination port from The Port to Mirror to drop-down list is chosen, that action updates the switch configuration without having to click the Apply button. 6

9 Enhancements Enhancements This section lists only the software versions that contain enhancements. Enhancements are listed in chronological order, from oldest to newest software version. Unless otherwise noted, each new software version includes all the enhancements added in previous versions. Version VA.02.03/VB Trunks Enhancement - There are now six configuration options on the Trunks ->Membership configuration screen: SMAC XOR DMAC, XOR IP-Info, SMAC, DMAC, SMAC XOR DMAC, Pseudo-Randomized, and IP-Info. SNMP Enhancement - Support was added for Bridge OID dot1dtplearnedentrydiscards ( ). Version VA.02.09/VB System Enhancement - Added cookie and session-id support to the web server. 7

10 Fixes Fixes Software fixes are listed in chronological order, from oldest to newest software version. Unless otherwise noted, each new software version includes all the software fixes added in previous versions. Version VA and VB were the first software versions for the HP 1700 Series switches. Version VA.01.07/VB Released to support Web UI - Help pages have been updated. Web UI - PVID display may be incorrect after deleting a VLAN or IP address ( ). System - Uploading configuration does not copy the management VLAN or IP address information to the switch. System - Looping ports 1 and 2 fails to do a factory reset when management VLAN is not set to its default of 1. VLAN - Switch may fail to add all of the selected ports into a new VLAN when themanagement VLAN has been changed from the default. SNMP- SNMP community name private is always readable. LLDP - Not all LLDP counters are cleared after a factory reset. Version VA.01.08/VB Released to support IP Address Assignment (CR_ ) - A valid gateway or IP address with 0 (zero) in the 4th octet cannot be assigned as a gateway. Web UI - Clarified the help description of the tagged only and PVID fields on the VLAN Configuration screen. Version VA.01.09/VB Released to support Mini-GBIC (PR_ ) - J9080A does not link when Rev. C mini-gbic is installed. Version VA.02.00/VB Released to support Trunks (PR_ / PR_ ) - Use of ports 1 and 2 in a trunk may trigger a return to factory default configuration under certain conditions. This fix adds a warning message in the Trunk --> Membership and Trunk --> LACP Setup web pages. SFP (PR_ / PR_ ) - When a fiber mini-gbic is inserted in port 23/24 of a switch, the fiber speed/duplex may be reported differently in the Ports-->Configuration page, versus the Ports--> Statistics page. SFP - When a fiber mini-gbic is inserted in port 23/24 of a switch, some fiber mini-gbic types do not display properly in the System -> Information page; they erroneously display the type as 10/100/1000-T. 8

11 Fixes Version VA.02.01/VB Flash - Support was added for a new flash component (the old component was discontinued). Software Rollback - Rolling software to a version earlier than VA for the or VB for the is not permitted in order to prevent rolling back switches with the new flash component to a version that would not allow the new flash to function. Version VA.02.02/VB Released to support Rate-Limit (PR_ ) - In the switch, the System -> Rate Limit screen offers some invalid configuration options to the administrator. This fix removes the options 2048K K. Help File - The Web Management Interface help file shows incorrect information regarding port mirroring. SFP Port Config - When a fiber mini-gbic is inserted in port 23/24 of a switch, the SFP will function if configured for Auto, but the Web Management Interface only offers 1000FDX as a configuration option. This fix allows either 1000FDX or Auto for fiber port configuration. Help Page - When HELP is chosen from any Web Management Interface page, and the Index button is chosen on the help screen, the switch displays the login page. Port Labels - The switch does not display the Port label above the port number list. Port Mirror - If a different selection is made from the Port to Mirror to drop-down list, the Ports to Mirror settings disappear. Port Trunk - The Web Management Interface Help file information contains an error with regard to port trunk configuration options. Valid trunks contain 2-8 members, not 1-8 members. Management VLAN - A VLAN with no member ports is allowed to be designated as the Management VLAN (System -> IP Address), which prevents access to the Web Management Interface. Version VA.02.03/VB Trunks - There are now six configuration options on the Trunks ->Membership configuration screen: SMAC XOR DMAC XOR IP-Info, SMAC, DMAC, SMAC XOR DMAC, Pseudo-Randomized, and IP-Info. SNMP - Support was added for Bridge OID dot1dtplearnedentrydiscards ( ). Version VA.02.04/VB Released and posted to the web DHCP - DHCP client behavior is changed so that once the switch gets an IP address assigned by the DHCP server, only link state changes(up/down) of the DHCP Server port will trigger the "version and request" process. VLAN - VLAN x traffic may briefly leak to VLAN y during configuration changes. Help (PR_ ) - The web management interface help file shows incorrect informtion regarding port mirroring. SNMP (PR_ ) - When querying the Bridge-MIB, the switch returns get next results for get requests in dot1dtpfdbtable. 9

12 Fixes SNMP (PR_ ) - SNMP walk and SNMP get of the OID returns conflicting results; the SNMP get is inaccurate. SNMP (PR_ ) - A missing padding byte in the SNMP counter values returned by the switch causes decode errors which may result in ProCurve Manager (PCM) interpreting the counter values as negative. SNMP - The maximum length of SNMP Read community name should be up to 20 characters. Help - The description of LACP in the help files is not correct; the help files were corrected and updated to address the inaccuracy. Version VA.02.05/VB VLAN - VLAN and mgmt IP data disappears. This was fixed and a warning message added on the 802.1Q VLAN group web page if a user attempts to remove all ports from the management VLAN. Version VA.02.06/VB Released to support SNMP - The IP interface IfIndex sometimes overlaps with switch ports' IfIndex and causes switch ports' OIDs to become inaccessible, in some cases. Version VA.02.07/VB ARP - ARP cache was not updated in some cases. Version VA.02.08/VB Released to support ARP - The switch would not update existing ARP entries when receiving a gratuitous ARP. Version VA.02.09/VB Released and posted to the web No Fixes, see Enhancements section. 10
