Installing the Switch
Sample Network Topologies for Non-PWR Switches
Installing the Switch
The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two 
examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use 
a ProCurve Switch 5406zl to interconnect each of your smaller switched 
workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network 
can communicate with each other. For example, with Gigabit-SX Mini-GBICs 
installed in a Mini-GBIC Module, in the Switch 5406zl, the entire switched 
topology could be connected to a campus backbone, as shown in the 
illustration above.
Note In the Figure 2-22, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection between the Switch 
2610s and the Switch 5406zl is by way of a Gigabit-SX mini-GBIC installed in 
the Switch 2610s connected to a Gigabit SX mini-GBIC installed in the mini-
GBIC Module in the 5406zl.
