Management Software
ProCurve Manager (PCM) is a network management suite for products by ProCurve.
ProCurve Manager
ProCurve Manager comes in two versions; a base version supplied both free of charge with all managed ProCurve Products and also for download, and a "Plus" version that incorporates more advanced functionality and also enables plugin support. There is a 60-day trial version including all modules. Both derive from the trial version and need to be activated via Internet.
The Plus version can also be implemented in HP OpenView Network Node Manager for Windows. The software ProCurve Manager is predominantly for ProCurve products.
Protocols
- PCM uses Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP, Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and FDP (Foundry) for detecting network devices
- For identification and deep inspection of network devices SNMP V2c or V3 is used.
- Network traffic is analysed using RMON and sFlow.
Plugins
- IDM (Identity Driven Manager) - Add-on Module for PCM+; contains Intranet Network Access Security using 802.1X; compatible with MicrosoftNetwork Access Protection (NAP) since Version IDM V2.3
- NIM (Network Immunity Manager) - Add-On Module for PCM+ v2.2 and above; contains Intranet Intrusion Detection and Network Behavior Anomaly Detection (NBAD) using sFlow
- PMM (ProCurve Mobility Manager) - Add-on Module for PCM+; contains Element Management for ProCurve Access Points (420/520/530) starting from Version PMM V1; WESM Modules and Radio Ports are supported since Version PMM V2. Since PMM v3, the MSM Access Points and Controllers are now supported[10]
