Identifying the IP Address of an Intruder.

The Intrusion Log lists

detected intruders by MAC address. If you are using HP TopTools for Hubs &
Switches to manage your network, you can use the TopTools inventory reports
to link MAC addresses to their corresponding IP addresses. (Inventory reports
are organized by device type; hubs, switches, servers, etc.)

Proxy Web Servers.

If you are using the switch’s web browser interface

through a switch port configured for Static port security, and your browser
access is through a proxy web server, then it is necessary to do the following:

Enter your PC or workstation MAC address in the port’s Authorized
Addresses list.

Enter your PC or workstation’s IP address in the switch’s IP Autho

-

rized Managers list. See "Using Authorized IP Managers" in the
Management and Configuration Guide

for your switch.)
