 HP ProCurve Manager, a Microsoft Windows-based network management solution for managing HP ProCurve devices, is a free software package that can be downloaded from the ProCurve Web site. It provides all the basic tools needed to handle a network effectively, along with a 60-day trial version of HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0. HP ProCurve Manager 3.0 is a solution focused for small to medium-sized businesses that want to monitor basic device health, capture and browse SNMP and syslog events, and map network devices. With ProCurve switches and ProCurve Manager 3.0, users will gain superior return on management, security, choice, and flexibility.
Manageability
- Functional-based profile settings: HP ProCurve Manager Plus allows network administrators to create new profiles and associate what type of information is available for those functions, which provides more control of network access. Profiles can be set at a global or regional level to give fine-grained permissions within the network, providing a more secure access to the network at all levels of support. New!
- Cisco device support: With HP ProCurve Manager Plus, Cisco customers can migrate to ProCurve products and retain their investment in legacy Cisco switches. ProCurve Manager Plus provides visibility into device support for Cisco premium switches. With HP ProCurve Manager Plus and its single pane of management, customers can help isolate network problems in a mixed environment. New!
- Agent security with SSL: Deploying agents in remote environments enables the agent to securely transverse firewalls via a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to the HP ProCurve Manager server. Once the system is connected, traffic monitoring and event notification use the SSL tunnel to securely transverse the Internet to the destination IP address of the HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 server and agent. New!
- RADIUS authentication of network management administrators: HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 can be configured to use the RADIUS industry-standard protocol to authenticate network management administrators. This authentication approach allows for HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 simplified and standardized user administration.
- In-depth traffic analysis: An integrated traffic-monitoring interface shows detailed information on traffic throughout the network and delivers minute-by-minute views of the volume and content of traffic at specified points within the ProCurve network. Using enhanced traffic analysis protocols such as XRMON and sFlow, users can monitor input and output traffic levels by device (up to 10,000 polled ports per agent) in order to help network managers enhance network resources.
- HP Network Node Manager--Windows integration:
- Installation: optional integration with HP Network Node Manager (NNM) is available.
- Auto-discovery coordinated with Network Node Manager: When integrated with NNM, HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 uses NNM's discovery database and retrieves additional ProCurve device data.
- Topology mapping: When integrated with NNM, HP ProCurve Manager Plus provides ProCurve device icons to the NNM topology map, allowing easy identification of ProCurve devices.
- Policy creation and enforcement: HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 has the ability to create policies, set alerts, and take action to enforce network or device policies. Network threats, bandwidth, or link issues can be mitigated by proactive policies and can be enforced with alerts and actions.
- Event alerting and analysis: HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 has event access and filtering capabilities that allow users to view, acknowledge, and sort network events. A summary displays device as well as HP ProCurve Manager Plus application events and categorizes them by severity, making it easier to track where bottlenecks and problems exist in the network. New!
- Backup and restore utility: The backup and recovery utility provides HP ProCurve Manager Plus with the ability to back up the net management database and the configuration files of HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0. Users never have to worry about losing known good configurations or database information when making changes or updates to the network. New!
- Multiple device firmware updates: HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 automatically obtains new device firmware from ProCurve and updates devices, allowing users to download the latest version or choose the desired version for downloading. Network administrators can schedule firmware updates on one or more groups of devices via the easy-to-use Firmware Update Wizard. New!
- Configurable Integration Platform (CIP) Wizard: Configurable Integration Platform capabilities are still present in HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0, but the CIP Wizard makes integration of third-party network devices, user-defined devices, and applications to HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0 a snap. The CIP Wizard provides a step-by-step intuitive interface for integrating different vendor devices and applications into HP ProCurve Manager Plus 3.0. New!
- Agent-based architecture: New!
- User-defined domains: HP ProCurve Plus 3.0 allows user-defined management domains, which enable a broad range of activities.
- Security: Agents traverse firewalls to forward local network information to the server. Using one server and up to ten agents, management becomes faster, more secure, and more compliant with encrypted management communications.
- Scalability: Cost-efficient scalability allows users to pay for management as they need it.
- Electronic and telephone support: limited electronic and telephone support is available from HP; refer to the HP Web site at www.procurve.com/support for details on the support provided and the period during which support is available
- Software releases: refer to the HP Web site at www.procurve.com/support for details on the software releases provided and the period during which software releases are available

ProCurve Network Immunity Manager
HP ProCurve Network Immunity Manager is a plug-in for HP ProCurve Manager Plus that detects and automatically responds to internal network threats such as virus attacks. Additionally, it provides central management of HP ProCurve Threat Management Services (TMS) zl Modules. It leverages security and traffic-monitoring features built into ProCurve switches such as sFlow, Virus Throttle, and remote mirroring technologies, as well as performs network behavior anomaly detection (NBAD) to detect attacks. Optionally, it remotely mirrors suspect traffic to an IDS/IPS/UTM appliance such as the ProCurve TMS zl Module. This security tool provides visibility into internal network threat activity to help increase network availability.
ProCurve Mobility Manager
HP ProCurve Mobility Manager 3.0 provides a single point in which to plan, deploy, manage, and monitor a ProCurve wireless LAN (WLAN). As a plug-in software module for HP ProCurve Manager Plus, this powerful tool provides visualization of predictive radio frequency (RF) coverage and location of WLAN infrastructure, unmanaged (rogue) access points, and wireless clients all in the same map that can be created through imported floor plans. Monitoring network health is easy with an integrated, single-screen dashboard providing device or network-wide wireless network utilization and client activity. With ProCurve Mobility Manager 3.0 integrated seamlessly into HP ProCurve Manager Plus, network administrators can easily manage their wireless and wired network from a common, unified network management console.
ProCurve Identity Driven Manager 3.0 Overview
HP ProCurve Identity Driven Manager (IDM), a plug-in to HP ProCurve Manager Plus, dynamically provisions network security and performance settings based on user, device, location, time, and endpoint posture. Identity Driven Manager provides network administrators with the ability to centrally define and apply policy-based network access rights that allow the network to automatically adapt to the needs of users and devices as they connect, thereby enforcing network security while providing appropriate access to authorized network users and devices. Identity Driven Manager is a powerful tool that allows network administrators to efficiently manage the users and devices connecting to their network.
