Getting Started Introduction and Applicable Switches Introduction and Applicable Switches This guide describes how to use HP’s switch security features to protect access to your HP ProCurveProCurve switch. This guide is intended for these switch models: HP ProCurve Switch 4100GL Series (4104GL, 4108GL)

Page 17: General Switch Traffic Security Guideline
Getting Started General Switch Traffic Security Guideline General Switch Traffic Security Guideline Where the switch is running multiple security options, it implements network traffic security based on the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection model) precedence of the individual options, from the lowest to the highest. The following list shows the order in which the switch implements configured security features on traffic moving through a given port.
Page 18: Command Syntax Conventions
Command Prompts In the default configuration, your switch’s CLI prompt includes the switch model number, and appears similar to the following examples: HP ProCurve Switch 4108# HP ProCurve Switch 2650# HP ProCurve Switch 6108# To simplify recognition, this guide uses HPswitch to represent command prompts for all models.
Page 19: Screen Simulations
Port Identity Convention for Examples This guide describes software applicable to both chassis-based and stackable HP ProCurve switches. Where port identities are needed in an example, this guide uses the chassis-based port identity system, such as "A1", "B3 - B5", "C7", etc.

Page 46: Overview
Applicable Switch Models. Web and MAC Authentication are available on these current HP ProCurve switch models: HP ProCurve Series 2600 and 2600-PWR Switches HP ProCurve Series 2800 Switches Web and MAC Authentication are designed for employment on the “edge” of a network to provide port-based security measures for protecting private networks and the switch itself from unauthorized access.
Page 47: Client Options
Web and MAC Authentication for the Series 2600/2600-PWR and 2800 Switches Overview MAC Authentication (MAC-Auth). This method grants access to a secure network by authenticating devices for access to the network. When a device connects to the switch, either by direct link or through the network, the switch forwards the device’s MAC address to the RADIUS server for authentication.
Page 48: General Features
Web and MAC Authentication for the Series 2600/2600-PWR and 2800 Switches Overview General Features Web and MAC Authentication on the Series 5300XL switches include the following: On a port configured for Web or MAC Authentication, the switch operates as a port-access authenticator using a RADIUS server and the CHAP protocol.

Web and MAC Authentication for the Series 2600/2600-PWR and 2800 Switches How Web and MAC Authentication Operate How Web and MAC Authentication Operate Authenticator Operation Before gaining access to the network clients first present their authentication credentials to the switch. The switch then verifies the supplied credentials with a RADIUS authentication server.

If the switch fails to connect to any TACACS+ server, it defaults to its own locally assigned passwords for authentication control if it has been configured to do so. For both Console and Telnet access you can configure a login (read-only) and an enable (read/write) privilege level access.
Page 78 TACACS+ Authentication Terminology Used in TACACS Applications: • Local Authentication: This method uses username/password pairs configured locally on the switch; one pair each for manager- level and operator-level access to the switch. You can assign local usernames and passwords through the CLI or web browser inter- face.

TACACS+ configurations used in your network. TACACS-aware HP switches include the capability of configuring multiple backup TACACS+ servers.

RADIUS Authentication and Accounting Configuring RADIUS Accounting The switch forwards the accounting information it collects to the designated RADIUS server, where the information is formatted, stored, and managed by the server. For more information on this aspect of RADIUS accounting, refer to the documentation provided with your RADIUS server.
Page 120 RADIUS Authentication and Accounting Configuring RADIUS Accounting – Optional—if you are also configuring the switch for RADIUS authentication, and need a unique encryption key for use during authentication sessions with the RADIUS server you are desig nating, configure a server-specific key. This key overrides the global encryption key you can also configure on the switch, and must match the encryption key used on the specified RADIUS server.

Page 228 Configuring Port-Based Access Control (802.1X) How RADIUS/802.1X Authentication Affects VLAN Operation This entry shows that port A2 is temporarily untagged on VLAN 22 for an 802.1X session.

Page 229 Configuring Port-Based Access Control (802.1X) How RADIUS/802.1X Authentication Affects VLAN Operation When the 802.1X client’s session on port A2 ends, the port discards the temporary untagged VLAN membership. At this time the static VLAN actually configured as untagged on the port again becomes available. Thus, when the RADIUS-authenticated 802.1X session on port A2 ends, VLAN 22 access on port A2 also ends, and the untagged VLAN 33 access on port A2 is restored.

Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown Figure 9-8. Example of Port A1 After Removing One MAC Address MAC Lockdown MAC Lockdown is avaliable on the Series 2600, 2600-PWR, and 2800 switches only. MAC Lockdown, also known as “static addressing,” is the permanent assign ment of a given MAC address (and VLAN, or Virtual Local Area Network) to a specific port on the switch.
Page 248 Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown How It Works. When a device’s MAC address is locked down to a port (typically in a pair with a VLAN) all information sent to that MAC address must go through the locked-down port. If the device is moved to another port it cannot receive data.
Page 249: Differences Between Mac Lockdown And Port Security
Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown You cannot perform MAC Lockdown and 802.1x authentication on the same port or on the same MAC address. MAC Lockdown and 802.1x authentication are mutually exclusive. Lockdown is permitted on static trunks (manually configured link aggrega tions).
Page 250 Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown MAC Lockdown Operating Notes Limits. There is a limit of 500 MAC Lockdowns that you can safely code per switch. To truly lock down a MAC address it would be necessary to use the MAC Lockdown command for every MAC Address and VLAN ID on every switch.

Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown Deploying MAC Lockdown When you deploy MAC Lockdown you need to consider how you use it within your network topology to ensure security. In some cases where you are using techniques such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to speed up network performance by providing multiple paths for devices, using MAC Lockdown either will not work or else it defeats the purpose of having multiple data paths.
