Its characteristics include the following: • 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports • Dual-personality ports - 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports or mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber-optic connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH • Plug-and-play networking • Automatic learning of the network addresses • Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops • 96 Gb/s backplane with up to 71.4 mpps • Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches • Port security to prevent unauthorized access using MAC address lockdown 3.2.1 Front Panel The HP ProCurve 2848 has 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports that are spread across the front panel. To the right are 4 triple-speed copper gigabit ports, and below these are 4 mini-GBIC slots that accept fiber-optic cables. These 8 slots are referred to as dual-personality ports because you can use either the copper port or the corresponding fiber-optic port. Only four can be in action at any one time. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it is enabled and the associated RJ-45 connector is disabled. If the mini-GBIC is removed, the associated RJ-45 port is automatically re-enabled. 24 HP ProCurve 2800 Series
