Introducing the Switch 408

The HP ProCurve Switch 408 is a multiport switch that can be used

to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This

switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-

speed networking.

Throughout this manual, the name of this switch will be abbreviated

as the Switch 408.

The Switch 408 has 8 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports. With

this switch you can build a switched network infrastructure by

connecting it to hubs, other switches, or routers; or you can connect

directly to computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated

bandwidth to those devices.

This chapter describes your Switch 408 including:
