Release K.13.01 Enhancements
STP Diagnostics: Adds more diagnostic functions to resolve STP issues. See the section on
“Troubleshooting an MSTP configuration” in the chapter on Multiple
Instance Spanning-Tree Operation.
Routing and Multicast Guide
Host-based OSPF-ECMP: Allows OSPF to add routes with multiple next-hop addresses and with equal
costs to a given destination IP address.
Access and Security Guide
Dynamic Configuration Arbiter: ProCurve provides different methods (for example, CLI, SNMP, or
IDM/RADIUS) to configure network and security parameters and respond
to threats. This feature allows you to determine the client-specific param-
eters that are assigned in an authentication session by applying or
removing them as needed in a specified hierarchy of precedence.
RADIUS Attributes: Additional RADIUS attributes included with this release:
• Change of authorization: allows changes to user service without
re-authentication
• Vendor-ID: allows Microsoft RADIUS servers to use vendor ID as part of
the policy
• Capability advertisement: allows the switch to advertise its capability to
the RADIUS server
• Session termination: allows the switch to report to the RADIUS server
the reason a session is terminated
For more information, see the section on “Additional RADIUS Attributes”
in the chapter on “RADIUS Authentication and Accounting”.
RADIUS VLAN Support: Supports RADIUS-assigned tagged and untagged VLAN configuration on
an authenticated port. This allows you, for example, to use IDM to dynam-
ically configure tagged and untagged VLANs as required for different client
devices, such as PCs and IP phones, that share the same switch port. See
the section on “VLAN Assignment in an Authentication Session” in the
chapter on “RADIUS Authentication and Accounting”.
PoE Planning and Implementation Guide
Power Redundancy: Support has been added for PoE redundancy. When PoE redundancy is
enabled, PoE redundancy occurs automatically. The switch keeps track of
power use and won’t supply PoE power to additional PoE devices trying to
connect if that results in the switch not having enough power in reserve for
redundancy if one of the power supplies should fail.
