IntroducingtheHPProCurve

Switch 212M and 224M

Introducing the HP ProCurve Switch 212M

and 224M

The HP ProCurve Switch 212M and Switch 224M are low-cost multiport

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

networks.Theseswitchesarestore-and-forward devices that offer low latency

for high-speed networking.

The two switch models are:

Throughout this manual, these switches will be abbreviated as the Switch

212M and 224M, or, when common characteristics are being described, as the

Switch 212M/224M.

The Switch 212M and 224M have twelve and twenty-four 10Base-T ports,

respectively, and two 100Base-T ports: one fixed 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port

and one transceiver slot for installing an HP 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX

Transceiver Module.

With these switches you can build a switched network infrastructure by

connecting the switches to hubs, other switches, or routers, or you can

connect computers, printers, and servers to these switches to provide dedi-

cated bandwidth to those devices.

This chapter describes your Switch 212M/224M including:

Network Ports

■12 or 24 10Base-T RJ-45 ports

■one fixed 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port

■one 100Base-T transceiver slot for installing an HP 10/100Base-TX or

100Base-FX transceiver

All the fixed twisted-pair ports are wired as MDI-X. Therefore, to connect end

nodes or other MDI-type devices to these ports, use “straight-through” twisted-

pair cable; to connect hubs, switches, or other MDI-X-type devices to these

ports, use “crossover” twisted-pair cable. See appendix B, “Cables and

Connectors” for descriptions of these cables.

The cabling to the transceiver port depends on the type of transceiver

installed. For more information, refer to the manual that came with the

transceiver.
