Using a Heterogeneous Switch Mesh
You can use Series 5300XL switches together with any of the older HP
Procurve Switch 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M models. Note that if you
connect one of these older models to a Series 5300XL switch in a mesh
environment, up to two minutes may elapse before both devices become
established in the mesh. These restrictions also apply:
The older models cannot be used in a mesh environment with Series
5300XL switches where there is a duplicate MAC address on multiple
switches and different VLANs. If you add an older model switch in this
environment after the mesh is established, this switch will not be admitted
to the mesh. If an older model switch is operating in a mesh with Series
5300XL switches and you introduce a topology that creates a duplicate
MAC address on multiple switches, the device accessed by these multiple
switches will be blocked. For example:
