Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Ethernet Hub (Optional)

The HAFM server and one or more switches connect through an Ethernet hub
installed on a 10/100 Mbps LAN segment. One hub port is required to connect the
HAFM server, and one hub port is required to connect each switch. A combination
of up to 48 HP products can be configured and managed by a single HAFM server,
therefore multiple hubs may be required to provide sufficient port connections.
These hubs must be connected in accordance with the hub manufacturer's
specifications. HP recommends using a star or hub-and-spoke topology when
connecting multiple hubs. The HAFM server must be connected to the center hub,
and there should never be more than two hubs between the HAFM server and any
switch. Refer to the hub manufacturer's documentation for more detailed
information.
For instructions to unpack and inspect one or more Ethernet hubs, and install the
hubs in a desktop or rack-mount configuration, refer to the appropriate Ethernet
hub documentation.
