Installing the Series 2300
and 2500 Switches
Sample Network Topologies
This section shows you a few sample network topologies in which the Series
2300 and 2500 switches are implemented. For more topology information, see
the HP network products World Wide Web site,

As a Desktop Switch
The Series 2300 and 2500 switches are designed to be used primarily as
desktop switches to which end nodes, printers and other peripherals, and
servers are directly connected, as shown in the above illustration. Notice that
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” feature on the Series 2300 and 2500 switches.
