Switch Features - ProCurve 1800-8G Installation And Getting Started Manual

Switch Features

The features of the ProCurve Switch 1800-8G 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.
■ easy management of the switch through several available
interfaces:
• Web browser interface — an easy to use built-in graphical
interface that can be accessed from common Web browsers.
• ProCurve Manager (PCM) — allows network administrators
to discover and map the ProCurve Switch 1800 within their
network and launch the ProCurve Switch 1800's built-in
graphical interface from within PCM to configure the switch.
support for up to 64 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can
■
divide the attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your
business needs.
