Sample Network Topologies
This section shows a few sample network topologies in which the switch is
implemented. For more topology information, see the ProCurve network
products Web site,
Figure 2-16. As a Desktop Switch.
The Switch is designed to be used primarily as a desktop switch to which end
nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly connected, as
shown in the above illustration. Notice that the end node devices are
connected to the switch by straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables.
Either cable type can be used because of the "IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X" features
on the Switch.
