and 224M
The HP ProCurve Switch 212M and Switch 224M are low-cost multiport
switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup
networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low latency
for high-speed networking.
The two switch models are:
Throughout this manual, these switches will be abbreviated as the Switch
212M and 224M, or, when common characteristics are being described, as the
Switch 212M/224M.
The Switch 212M and 224M have twelve and twenty-four 10Base-T ports,
respectively, and two 100Base-T ports: one fixed 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port
and one transceiver slot for installing an HP 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX
Transceiver Module.
With these switches you can build a switched network infrastructure by
connecting the switches to hubs, other switches, or routers, or you can
connect computers, printers, and servers to these switches to provide dedi-
cated bandwidth to those devices.
