Switch Features

The features of the ProCurve Switch 1400-8G 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.
supports pass through (flooding) of spanning tree BPDUs so that
■
upstream devices on the network which support Spanning Tree
Protocol can detect loops that exist on the ProCurve Switch 1400
interface.
