Preface
Preface
Use of This Guide and Other Switch 2000
Documentation
This guide describes how to install the B-version of the Switch 2000 (HP
J3100B) in your network and use the console interface for the
HP AdvanceStack Switch 2000 (hereafter referred to as the “Switch 2000”).
Operating
Differences This manual describes features of the B-version of the Hewlett-Packard
Switch2000 (HP J3100B). In some cases, such as the Spanning TreeProtocol
(operating within VLANs)and port trunking capabilities, there are significant
operating differences between the A-version of the Switch 2000 (HP J3100A)
and the B-version. For information on the features available in the A-version,
refer to the manuals shipped with that product.
Important! Before installing or removing an interface module (or installing
or removing a transceiver used with a module), refer to the specific module
documentation describing these procedures.
■If you need information on specific parameters in the console interface,
refer to the online help provided in the interface.
■If you need further information on Hewlett-Packard switch technology,
refer to the HP AdvanceStack Products CD shipped with your Switch
2000.

Preface
Overview of Console Applications
Figure 1. Example of the HP AdvanceStack Switch 2000 with Optional Modules
and Transceivers installed

automatically operates as a multiport learning bridge with the following
configuration:
■All installed ports are enabled and are members of a single broadcast
domain
■Spanning tree protocol (STP) is disabled
The console interface provides the following capabilities for use when you
want to move beyond this basic level of operation:
■Monitoring system performance and status
■Customizing the system configuration for improved performance and
unique system requirements
■Enabling network management (SNMP) access
■Setting passwords to help protect system security
■Downloading system software updates
■Troubleshooting
