  • HP Networking –Hardening the Network with PCM+
    This hands-on lab will combine two hot topics; network management tools and management security. Participants will use ProCurve Manager Plus tools to push best practices security configurations to switches in an exercise to learn about automating tasks for security. Recommended for network managers currently using HP ProCurve switches.
