Switch Overview
■ When the FDx (full duplex) indicator LED is on, the port Mode LEDs turn
on for those ports that are operating at full duplex.
■ When the Speed indicator LED is on:
• Ports 1-22: the port Mode LEDs turn on for ports operating at
100 Mbps. The port Mode LEDs are off for ports operating at 10 Mbps.
• Ports 23-24: the port Mode LEDs turn on for ports operating at 100 or
1000 Mbps. The port Mode LEDs are off for ports operating at 10 Mbps.
Switch Features
The features of the ProCurve Switch 1700-24 include:
■ 22 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports and 2 Gigabit combination
ports (RJ-45/SFP).
■ plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
■ IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI /MDI-X on all twisted-pair ports, meaning that all
connections can be made using straight-through twisted-pair cables.
Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work. The pin
operation of each port is automatically adjusted for the attached device:
if the switch detects that a 10/100 Mbps switch or hub is connected to the
port, it configures the port as MDI; if the switch detects that a 10/100 Mbps
end-node device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X.
■ automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 8000-
address forwarding table.
■ automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for all RJ-45 ports when
connected to other auto-negotiating devices.
