Introducing the HP ProCurve Series
2300 and 2500 Switches
The HP ProCurve Series 2300 and 2500 Switches are multiport high-speed
switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup
networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low latency
for high-speed networking. With these switches you can directly connect
computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those
devices, and you can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting
these switches to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, the Series 2500
Switches offer full network management capabilities.
