Troubleshooting
Using the Event Log for Troubleshooting Switch Problems
ssh Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2): Provides remote access to
management functions on a switch via encrypted paths
between the switch and management station clients capable
of SSH operation.
SSH messages also include events from the Secure File
Transfer Protocol (SFTP) feature. SFTP provides a secure
alternative to TFTP for transferring sensitive information, such
as switch configuration files, to and from the switch in an SSH
session. Access Security Guide
ssl Secure Socket Layer Version 3 (SSLv3), including Transport
Layer Security (TLSv1) support: Provides remote web access
to a switch via encrypted paths between the switch and
management station clients capable of SSL/TLS operation. Access Security Guide
stack Stack management: Uses a single IP address and standard
network cabling to manage a group (up to 16) of switches in
the same IP subnet (broadcast domain), resulting in a reduced
number of IP addresses and simplified management of small
workgroups for scaling your network to handle increased
bandwidth demand. Advanced Traffic Management Guide
stp Multiple-instance spanning tree protocol/MSTP (802.1s):
Ensures that only one active path exists between any two
nodes in a group of VLANs in the network. MSTP operation is
designed to avoid loops and broadcast storms of duplicate
messages that can bring down the network.
Advanced Traffic Management Guide
system Switch management, including system configuration, switch
bootup, activation of boot ROM image, memory buffers, traffic
and security filters.
System messages also include events from Management
interfaces (menu, CLI, web browser, ProCurve Manager) used
to reconfigure the switch and monitor switch status and
performance. Management and Configuration Guide
Access Security Guide
tacacs TACACS+ authentication: A central server is used to control
access to the switches (and other TACACS-aware devices) in
the network through a switch’s console port (local access) or
Telnet (remote access). Access Security Guide
tcp Transmission Control Protocol: A transport protocol that runs
on IP and is used to set up connections. Advanced Traffic Management Guide
telnet Session established on the switch from a remote device
through the Telnet virtual terminal protocol. Management and Configuration Guide
tftp Trivial File Transfer Protocol: Supports the download of files to
the switch from a TFTP network server. Management and Configuration Guide
timep Time Protocol: Synchronizes and ensures a uniform time
among interoperating devices. Management and Configuration Guide
