Overview
This chapter describes the following features and how to configure them with
the switch’s built-in interfaces:
■ HP ProCurve Stack Management (Page 9-5): Use your network to
stack switches without the need for any specialized cabling—page 9-5.
■ Port-Based VLANs — Page 9-50:
■ GVRP — Page 9-77:
■ Multimedia Traffic Control with IP Multicast (IGMP) — Page 9-91:
Use the switch to reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage on a per-port basis
by configuring IGMP controls.
■ Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) (Page 9-102): Use STP to automati-
cally block loops in your network by ensuring that there is only one active
path at a time between any two nodes on the network.
For general information on how to use the switch’s built-in interfaces, see:
