Network Ports
■ 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports.
All these ports have the “IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature, which means
you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to
connect any network devices to the switch.
■ Two dual-personality ports. Use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
connector, or install a supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-optic
connections.
The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X feature, which
means you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair
cables to connect any network device to the switch.
Dual-Personality Port Operation. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are
enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it is enabled and the associated
RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot be used. If the mini-GBIC is removed,
the associated RJ-45 port is automatically re-enabled.
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console to the Series 2510 Switch by using the
supplied cable with the switch. The console port is located on the front of the
Switch. This connection is described under “Connect a Console to the Switch”
in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch.” The console can be a PC or workstation
running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
