Installing the Switch 2650
Sample Network Topologies
This section shows you a few sample network topologies in which the
Switch 2650 is implemented. For more topology information, see the HP
network products World Wide Web site, http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve.
As a Desktop Switch
The Switch 2650 is designed to be used primarily as a desktop switch to which
end nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly connected,
as shown in the above illustration. Notice that the end node devices are
connected to the switch by “straight-through” or “crossover” twisted-pair
cables. Either cable type can be used because of the “HP Auto-MDIX” and
“IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X” features on the Switch 2650.
