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:

Introducing the Switch 408

Front of the Switch

Network Ports

The switch has 8 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports with RJ-45

connectors. All ports, except port 8, are wired as MDI-X ports. Port 8

can operate as either MDI-X or MDI, as controlled by the MDI-X/MDI

Select button.

MDI-X/MDI Select Button

This button is used to select an MDI-X or MDI connection for port 8.

Selecting MDI enables port 8 to be used as a cascade port for

connecting to another switch or hub using straight-through cable.

Selecting MDI-X makes port 8 operate the same as the other ports.

They are used to connect computers, servers, printers and other end

nodes using straight-through cables.
