Switch Features
Introducing the Switch
■ automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100 and
10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating
devices—the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex.
■ easy management of the switches through several available interfaces:
• console interface—a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal
interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management
or for Telnet access to the switch.
• web browser interface—an easy to use built-in graphical interface
that can be accessed from common web browsers.
• ProCurve Manager—an SNMP-based, graphical network manage-
ment tool that you can use to manage your entire network.
■ support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops
■ support for up to 30 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the
attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.
■ support for many advanced features to enhance network performance—
for a description, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which
is on the Documentation CD-ROM included with your switch.
■ download of new switch software for product enhancements or bug fixes.
