HP XC System Software 3.2.1 manual ProCurve 2626 Switch

Figure 3-8 ProCurve 2610-48 Root Console Switch

The callouts in the figure enumerate the following:

1.Port 42 must be reserved for an optional connection to the console port on the head node.

2.Port 49 is reserved.

3.Port 50 is the Gigabit Ethernet link to the Root Administration Switch.

Allocate the ports on this switch for consistency with the administration switches, as follows:

•Ports 1–10, 13–22, 25–34, 37–41

—Starting with port 1, the ports are used for links from Branch Console Switches. Trunking is not used.

—Starting with port 41 and in descending order, ports are assigned for use by individual nodes in the utility cabinet. Nodes in the utility cabinet are connected directly to the Root Administration Switch.

NOTE: There must be at least one idle port in this set to indicate the dividing line between branch links and root node administration ports.

•Ports 11, 12, 23, 24, 35, 36, and 43–48 are unused.

3.3.6.3ProCurve 2626 Switch

You can use a ProCurve 2626 switch as a Root Console Switch for the console branch of the administration network. The ProCurve 2626 switch is shown in Figure 3-9. In the figure, white ports should not have connections, black ports can have connections, and ports with numbered callouts are used for specific purposes, described after the figure.
