Sample Network Topologies for PWR
Switches
This section shows a few sample network topologies implementing the Series
2600-PWR Switches. For more topology information, see the ProCurve
networking products Web site,
As a Desktop Switch Implementing PoE
The Series 2600-PWR Switches are also designed to be used as desktop
switches to which end nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are
directly connected, as shown in the above illustration. Except now these
switches can supply PoE power to end devices such as IP telephones and
wireless access points (WAP).
As shown in the above illustration the IP telephones can be connected in line,
that is, between the switch and the end device, in this case a PC. The IP
telephones have two ports, one in and one out. Therefore the phone receives
voice and power from the switch and the PC can send and receive data through
the phone to the switch.
The end node devices are connected to the switch by straight-through or
crossover twisted-pair cables. Either cable type can be used because of the
“HP Auto-MDIX” and “IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X” features on the Series 2600-
PWR Switches.
