Installing the Switch

Installing the Switch

Sample Network Topologies

N o t e	In the Backbone Switch illustration, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection
	between the Switch 3500yl-24G and the Switch 5304xl is by way of a Gigabit-
	SX mini-GBIC installed in the Switch 3500yl-24G and connected to a Gigabit-
	SX Module in the Switch 5304xl.

Stacking the Switch

The 3500yl switches can be connected together through standard network connections, and managed through a single IP address. Up to 16 switches can be connected together in such a “virtual stack”. The 10/100 3500 (non-PoE and PoE) switches can also be connected together and managed through a single IP address.

Through switch console commands, you can identify one of the switches as the “Commander” and give that switch an IP address. Up to 15 other switches in the network can then easily be configured as Members of the stack and managed through the Commander’s IP address. The management includes Telnet access and web browser interface access to the Commander and to each Member switch through the Commander.

For more information on stacking Switches, please see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the HP ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com/manuals.
