The features of the Switch 408 include:
■
eight auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports—all ports can
sense the connection speed, 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and automat-

■
HP Auto-MDIX on all ports—all ports allow you to use either a

RJ-45 network device. There are no switches or buttons to deal
with, and no more worrying about what type of cable is needed

■

■
automatic learning of the hardware addresses in the switch’s
1000-entry address forwarding table
■
auto-negotiation of half/full duplex on all ports
■
auto-negotiation of flow control for ports operating at full duplex
