Introducing the Switch
These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers 
to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched 
network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or 
routers. In addition, these switches can be fully managed by HP SNMP-based 
and browser-based network management tools.
Using HP SFPs, these products support optional network connectivity with 
the following speeds and technologies:
