Switch Features
The features of the ProCurve Switch 1400-8G include:
■ 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
■ plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect
the network cables to active network devices and your switched
network is operational.
■ IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI /MDI-X on all twisted-pair ports, meaning
that all connections can be made using straight-through twisted-
pair cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will
also work. The pin operation of each port is automatically
adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that a 10/
100 Mbps switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the
port as MDI; if the switch detects that a 10/100 Mbps end-node
device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X.
■ automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s
8000- address forwarding table.
■ automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for all 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-
negotiating devices.
■ supports pass through (flooding) of spanning tree BPDUs so that
upstream devices on the network which support Spanning Tree
Protocol can detect loops that exist on the ProCurve Switch 1400
interface.
