Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your switch. This document
describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware perspective. You can
perform more in-depth troubleshooting on the switch using the software tools
available with the switch, including the full-featured console interface, the
built-in web browser interface, and HP ProCurve Manager, the SNMP-based
network management tool. For more information, see the chapter “Trouble-
shooting” in the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the HP
ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com/manuals.
