Switch Overview
■ the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex.
■ easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:
• Web browser interface — an easy to use built-in graphical interface
that can be accessed from common Web browsers.
• ProCurve Manager (PCM) — allows network administrators to
discover and map the ProCurve Switch 1700 within their network and
launch the ProCurve Switch 1700's built-in graphical interface from
within PCM to configure the switch.
■ support for up to 64 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the
attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.
■ support for up to 12 trunks so you to assign physical links to one logical
link (trunk) that functions as a single, higher-speed link providing
dramatically increased bandwidth.
■ support for many advanced features to enhance network performance—
for a description, see the Management and Configuration Guide.
■ download of new switch software for product bug fixes.
■ supports pass through (flooding) of spanning tree BPDUs so that
upstream devices on the network which support Spanning Tree Protocol
can detect loops that exist on the ProCurve Switch 1700 interface.
