Introducing the HP ProCurve

Series 2300 and 2500

Introducing the HP ProCurve Series

2300 and 2500 Switches

The HP ProCurve Series 2300 and 2500 Switches are multiport high-speed

switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup

networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low latency

for high-speed networking. With these switches you can directly connect

computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those

devices, and you can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting

these switches to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, the Series 2500

Switches offer full network management capabilities.

This chapter describes your HP Series 2300 and 2500 Switches including:

■Front and back of the switches

■Features

■Switch operation overview

Throughout this manual, these switches will be abbreviated as the “Series 2300

Switches” and “Series 2500 Switches”, or when common features are being

described, as the “Series 2300 and 2500 Switches”.
