Switch Overview
Switch Hardware Features
The ProCurve Switch 1700-8 (J9079A) 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.
Switch Ports
The switch has 7 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports and 1 auto-
sensing 10/100/1000Base-T auto MDI/MDI-X RJ-45 port. With this
switch 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 it to hubs, other
switches, or routers. In addition, the switch offers network
management capabilities.

LEDs
The front panel of the switch provides status LEDs for system
monitoring. The following table details the functions of the various
indicators.
System LED State Meaning
Power
(green) On The switch is receiving power.
Off The switch is NOT receiving power.
Port LED State Meaning
Link/Act
(green –

number)
On The port is enabled and receiving a linkindication
from the connected device.
Off The port has no active network cable connected,
or is not receiving link signal.
Flashing Indicates that there is network activity on the
port.
FDx
(green) On Indicates the port is operating at full duplex
Off Indicates the port is operating at half duplex
Spd
(green) On • Ports 1-7: Indicates the port is operating at
100 Mbps.
• Port 8: Indicates the port is operating at 100 or
1000 Mbps.
Off • Ports 1-7: Indicates the port is operating at
10 Mbps.
• Port 8: Indicates the port is operating at
10 Mbps.

Switch Features
The features of the ProCurve Switch 1700-8 include:
■7 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports and 1 auto-sensing 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 port.
■plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect
the network cables to active network devices and your switched
network is operational.
■IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI /MDI-X on all twisted-pair ports, meaning
that all connections can be made using straight-through twisted-
pair cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will
also work. The pin operation of each port is automatically
adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that a 10/
100 Mbps switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the
port as MDI; if the switch detects that a 10/100 Mbps end-node
device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X.
■automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s
8000- address forwarding table.
■automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for all 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-
negotiating devices.
■easy management of the switch through several available
interfaces:
• Web browser interface — an easy to use built-in graphical
interface that can be accessed from common Web browsers.
• ProCurve Manager (PCM) — allows network administrators
to discover and map the ProCurve Switch 1700 within their
network and launch the ProCurve Switch 1700's built-in
graphical interface from within PCM to configure the switch.
■support for up to 64 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can
divide the attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your
business needs.

Switch Overview
Switch Hardware Features
■support for up to 4 trunks so you to assign physical links to one
logical link (trunk) that functions as a single, higher-speed link
providing dramatically increased bandwidth.
■support for many advanced features to enhance network
performance—for a description, see the Management and
Configuration Guide.
■download of new switch software for product bug fixes.
■supports pass through (flooding) of spanning tree BPDUs so that
upstream devices on the network which support Spanning Tree
Protocol can detect loops that exist on the ProCurve Switch 1700
interface.
