Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Example Network Topologies Use as an Edge Switch Trunked redundant Gigabit fiber-optic cables ProCurve Routing Switch 9308 Series 5406zl Switch Series 5406zl Switch Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Figure 2-16. Edge Switch Configuration When your network expands and the users need to access resources beyond the edge of the local network, the Series 5400zl Switches are excellent platforms for that expansion. With the flexibility of 6 slots, the high port count 10/100/1000-T zl Modules for local connections, and the availability of Gigabit speeds on both copper and fiber cables, the Series 5400zl Switches can provide that access beyond the edge for a high number of network users. In the above illustration, two Switch 5406zls are connected to a ProCurve Routing Switch 9308, which can serve as a campus backbone or core switch. The 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connections between the two Switch 5406zls and the Routing Switch 9308 is by way of Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs installed in the mini-GBIC port on the 20 port Gig-T plus 4 mini-GBIC zl Module in the Switch 5406zls and Gigabit-LX ports on the Routing Switch 9308. With the Gigabit-LX connections, the distance between the Switch 5406zls and the Routing Switch 9308 can be up to ten kilometers. The connections are trunked, through a configuration change on the Switch 5406zl, to provide redundancy and load sharing for higher bandwidth. 2-30
