Stacking The Switch - HP ProCurve 2510G Series Installation And Getting Started Manual

Installing the Switch
Sample Network Topologies
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. With a Gigabit-SX Module, for example, in
the Switch 5406zl, the entire switched topology could be connected to a
campus backbone, as shown in the illustration above.
N o t e
In the Backbone Switch illustration, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection
between the Switch 2510G-24 and the Switch 5406zl is by way of a Gigabit-SX
mini-GBIC installed in the Switch 2510-24 and connected to a Gigabit-SX
Module in the Switch 5406zl.

Stacking the Switch

The Switch 2510G Series devices can be connected together, through standard
network connections, and managed through a single IP address. Up to 16
switches can be connected together in such a "virtual stack".
You identify the switch as the "Commander" and give that switch an IP address.
Up to 15 other switches in the network can then easily be configured as
Members of the stack and managed through the Commander's IP address. The
management includes Telnet access and web browser interface access to the
Commander and to each Member switch through the Commander.
For more information on stacking Switches, please see the Management and
Configuration Guide, which is available on the ProCurve Web site
