ProCurve Switch vl Modules
Features
Figure 3. Example: ProCurve Switch 1-port 10 Gig-X2 vl Module
The ProCurve Switch vl Modules have the following features:
■auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network
operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected
■auto-configuration—a default configuration is applied to the module
when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default
configuration works well for most network installations
■LEDs that provide information for each port on the link status, network
activity, connection bandwidth (speed), communication mode (half or full
duplex), and presence of specific network error packets on the port
■“hot swap modules” operation—you can add a module or replace a
module without having to shut down the switch (changing the module
type in a given slot does require a switch reset)
■“hot swap mini-GBICs” operation—you can add, replace, or change the
type of any of the mini-GBICs that you use in any of the vl Modules that
use mini-GBICs, without having to first remove the module, and without
having to shut down the switch (you must remove the network cable
before hot-swapping a mini-GBIC)
■“hot swap X2 transceiver” operation—you can add, replace, or change the
type of any of the X2 transceivers that you use in the 10-GbE vl Module,
without having to first remove the module, and without having to shut
down the switch (you must remove the network cable before hot-swap-
ping a transceiver)
