Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/24

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

The HAFM appliance and one or more Edge Switches connect through an
Ethernet hub installed on a 10/100 Mbps LAN segment. One hub port is required
to connect the HAFM appliance, and one hub port is required to connect each
Edge Switch. A combination of up to 48 HP products can be configured and
managed by a single HAFM appliance, 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 appliance
must be connected to the center hub, and there should never be more than two
hubs between the HAFM appliance and any Edge Switch. Refer to the hub
manufacturer's documentation for more detailed information.
For instructions to unpack and inspect one or more Ethernet hubs, and to install
the hubs in a desktop or rack-mount configuration, refer to the appropriate
Ethernet hub documentation.
