Installing the Series 2300
and 2500 Switches
Connecting to a Backbone Switch
The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two
examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use
an HP ProCurve Switch 8000M to interconnect each of your smaller switched
workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network
can communicate with each other. With a Gigabit-SX Module, for example, in
the Switch 8000M, the entire switched topology could be connected to a
campus backbone, as shown in the illustration above.
Note In the illustration above, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection between the
Switch 2524 and the Switch 8000M is by way of a Gigabit-SX Transceiver
installed in the Switch 2524 connected to a Gigabit-SX Module in the Switch
8000M.
