3.3.3.1 Switch Connections and HP Workstations
HP model xw workstations do not have console ports. Only the Root Administration Switch supports mixing nodes without console management ports with nodes that have console management ports (that is, all other supported server models).
HP workstations connected to the Root Administration Switch must be connected to the next
For example, if nodes with console management ports are connected to ports 42 through 36 on the Root Administration Switch, the console ports are connected to ports 42 through 36 on the Console Switch. Workstations must be connected starting at port 35 and lower to the Root Administration Switch; the corresponding ports on the Console Switch are empty.
3.3.4 Super Root SwitchFigure
You must configure trunks on both switches before plugging in the cables between the switches. Otherwise, a loop is created between the two switches.
