HP ProCurve Networking Training



We highly recommend ProCurve instructor-led training to our customers and partners. The classes are well-structured and taught in a relaxed lab-based environment. Each student has their own laptop and switch equipment to work with, both individually and in group projects to set up and troubleshoot everything from physical connectivity issues to advanced routing and failover techniques.

For current schedules and pricing, please visit our Events page, or contact us by calling 800.435.2212 or email Jennifer Jabbusch. Note- Events page lists classes in the Eastern US, but classes are available Nationwide.

Network Management with ProCurve Manager (PCM)

Effective network management is key for configuration management, device discovery and management, traffic monitoring and network security. The PCM class covers not only PCM (the free management software included with all ProCurve switches), it also delves into advanced network management with ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+) as well as the Identity Driven Manager (IDM) and ProCurve Mobility Manager (PMM) add-ins. This training is essential for managing your ProCurve network components.

  • Installing and configuring the software
  • Overview of the interfaces
  • Device management tools and reporting
  • Using PCM to manage software updates
  • Configuration Manager overview in PCM
  • VLAN Manager overview
  • Policy Manager & automated configuration management
  • Evaluating the network with Traffic Monitor
  • Reviewing Events & Alerts
  • Extending with Configurable Integration Platform (CIP)
  • Using IDM for authorization control, RADIUS integration and 802.1X
  • Using PMM to manage wireless devices, radios and configuration
