Port Security
N o t e
This feature is configurable over the network from a network manage-
ment station running HP Interconnect Manager, or out-of-band from an
ASCII terminal or terminal emulator.
The HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub with HP Ethernet SNMP Module
provides two main types of security on each of its network ports.
Intruder Prevention
for inbound data (from the end user to the hub)
Eavesdrop Prevention
for outbound data (from the hub to the end
user)
Both of these types of security can be configured on each network port
individually (the twisted-pair ports, the ThinLAN port, and the AUI/Xcvr
port) and are enabled by comparing the source and destination address
of each packet received or transmitted by the hub to each port’s
Authorized Station Address—the station address of the device that you
configure to be authorized to communicate through that hub port.
See the HP Interconnect Manager documentation for more information
on the Interconnect Manager control of this feature; see the HP Ethernet
SNMP Module documentation for description of the ASCII terminal
SEcure command.
Authorized Managers List
The HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub with an HP Ethernet SNMP Module
installed can be configured with a list of up to ten network management
stations that are authorized to manage the hub. This list is configured
through the “Authorized Managers” function in the HP Stack Manager
program, the MAnagers command from an ASCII terminal, and through
HP Interconnect Manager. See chapter 2, “Installing and Using HP Stack
Manager”, for more information on the HP Stack Manager command; see
the HP Ethernet SNMP Module manual for the MAnagers command; see
the Security chapter in the HP Interconnect Manager documentation.
If an unauthorized management station attempts to access the hub
(especially to perform SNMP “set” commands), the Security LED on the
hub’s front panel will flash.
