Sample Network Topologies for
Non-PoE+ Switches
This section shows a few sample network topologies in which the Switch
E2620 is implemented. For more topology information, see the HP networking
products Web site,

As a Desktop Switch
Figure 2-20. Basic desktop configuration
The E2620 Switches are designed to be used primarily as desktop switches to
which end nodes, printers, other peripherals, and servers are directly
connected, as shown in the above illustration. 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 Auto-MDIX feature on the E2620
Switches ports.
