Username/Password Security: If you are connecting a device that
■
allows you to enter a username and password that is forwarded to a
networked server for authentication, then you can also configure the
following security features:
– Local username and password
– TACACS+
– RADIUS Authentication and Accounting
– 802.1X Authentication
For more information on security options, refer to the latest edition of the
Access Security Guide for your switch. (The HP ProCurve website offers the
latest version of all HP ProCurve product publications. Refer to "Getting
Documentation from the Web" in chapter 1, "Getting Started".)

Assigning Priority Policies to PoE Traffic

You can use the configurable QoS (Quality of Service) features in the switch
to create prioritization policies for traffic moving through PoE ports. Table 11-
3 lists the available classifiers and their order of precedence.
Table 11-3. Classifiers for Prioritizing Outbound Packets
Priority QoS Classifier
1 UDP/TCP Application Type (port)
2 Device Priority (destination or source IP address)
3 IP Type of Service (ToS) field (IP packets only)
4 Protocol Priority (IP, IPX, ARP, DEC LAT, AppleTalk, SNA, and NetBeui)
5
VLAN Priority
6 Incoming source-port on the switch
7 Incoming 802.1p priority (present in tagged VLAN environments)
For more on this topic, refer to the chapter titled "Quality of Service: Managing
Bandwidth More Effectively" in the Advanced Traffic Management Guide for
your switch.
