Installing the Switch
Sample Network Topologies for Non-PWR Switches
Installing the Switch
Because the Series 2600 Switches have the “HP Auto-MDIX” and “IEEE Auto
MDI/MDI-X” features, the connections between the switch and the hubs, and
between the switch and end nodes or servers can be through category 5
straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cable. Category 3 or 4 cable can
also be used if the connection is 10 Mbps only. In all cases, the device ports
must be configured to auto negotiate the link characteristics for this feature
to work.
The switch, in turn, can be connected to a network backbone through fiber-
optic cabling connected to a Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH mini-GBIC. Now, all the
devices on these network segments can access other network resources that
are connected elsewhere on the network backbone. Always remember when
connecting fiber-optics that all components match in specification.
