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:
