Uses Of The Pass-Through Port; Switch Functionality On The Msm317 - HP MSM317 Deployment Manual

Choosing a PoE or PoE+ switch
HP offers a number of PoE and PoE+ enterprise-class switches for hospitality customers building
converged edge networks. The following are two such offerings.
E2610-48 PoE
Cost-effective, scalable, access layer switch
IEEE 802.3af functionality
48, 10/100 ports
Two 10/100/1000 Base-T ports
Two mini-GBIC slots for Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity
Layer 2 plus static IP routing
Lifetime warranty, free software updates, optional
redundant external power supply

Uses of the pass-through port

As mentioned, the pass-through port on the MSM317 is intended for use as a PBX pass through. If it is
used for any other purpose, it is rated for Category 3 connections. Use of this port in applications
requiring Category 5 or greater cabling is likely to impact the performance of that connection.

Switch functionality on the MSM317

The functionality of the switch on the MSM317 is broadly equivalent to a Layer 2 managed switch
typically deployed at the edge of an enterprise network. Configuration of the switch features have
been optimized for applications in the hospitality market. The sections that follow discuss configuring
VoIP and guest access VLANs on the MSM317.

HP MSM317 Access Device Installation and Getting Started
configuration chapter.
