    ■ HP Procurve Gigabit-LH-LC mini-GBIC (J4860A) C a u t i o n The HP Procurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port. Installing the mini-GBICs: Hold the mini-GBIC by its sides and gently insert it into either of the slots on the switch until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
  • Page 23 You should disconnect the network cable from the mini-GBIC before removing it from the switch. Depending on when you purchased your HP Procurve mini-GBIC, it may have either of three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of the mini-GBIC, a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC, or a wire bail.

    See the table on page 2-5, and appendix B, “Switch Ports and Network Cables”, for the mini-GBIC cabling information. For mini-GBICs ports, and in general for all the switch ports, when a network cable from an active network device is connected to the port, the port LED for that port should go on.
  • Page 33: Optional) Connect A Console To The Switch 2650

    Out-of-band: The Switch 2650 comes with a serial cable for connecting ■ a PC or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console, directly to the switch. ■ In-Band: Access the console using Telnet from a PC or UNIX station on the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator.

For more detailed information, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch.
  • Page 35: Sample Network Topologies

    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.

    They can also all communicate with the server that is connected to a 1000Base-T port on the switch. Because the Switch 2650 has the “HP Auto-MDIX” and “IEEE Auto MDI/ MDI-X” features, the connections between the switch and the hubs, and between the switch and end nodes or servers can be through category 5 “straight-through”...

    The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use an HP Procurve Switch 8000M 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.

  • Page 40: Using The Console Setup Screen

    The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for manage- ment and password protection in your network is to use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup screen. Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal device to the switch and display the switch console command (CLI) prompt (the default display).
