How many people use HP gears for serious networking? I doubt many.
I personally just found that HP Procurve switches can not do per-vlan spanning-tree!!! why!? why hp even put this kind of device to market!! I guess it was our bad to select them in our data center to just save some bucks… Plus I doubt HP even has a switch model can do ACL.
For wireless, HP does provide light-weight AP and controller package. However it does not work!!! It does not work well with Active Directory auth, Light-weight AP can not connect to Controller if AP is connected to other vlan than vlan 1…
I just do not recommend HP for networking, PERIOD.
