Switch Ports

The switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports and two dual-
personality ports (ports 23 and 24). Because the RJ-45 ports support automatic
MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network
connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a
supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-optic connections. By default, the RJ-
45 connectors are enabled.
This switch is designed to be used primarily as a high-density wiring closet or
desktop switch. With this switch you can directly connect computers, printers,
and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can
build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs,
other switches, or routers. In addition, the switch offers network management
capabilities.
