HP GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Quick Setup Instructions
The HP GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem interconnect kit contains one
switch.
The switch uses Gigabit Layer 2/3 switching technology to provide between 16-to-1 to 16-to-5 reduction
in the number of networking cables per BL c-Class server blade enclosure.
Each switch reduces sixteen server networking ports to one to five uplink Gigabit ports.
Features
The switch is designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the
network and the number of users increases continually.
Enterprise class performance
The switch features include:
•
Up to a 16-to-1 reduction in networking cables and connections, concentration of sixteen Gigabit
Ethernet server ports down to as little as one Gigabit Ethernet port, or up to five Gigabit Ethernet
uplink ports for additional bandwidth and redundant connections to the network backbone
•
Fully supported on the HP c-Class BladeSystem server blade enclosure and infrastructure compatible
with any combination of HP c-Class BladeSystem server blades
