Introducing the HP ProCurve Series
2300 and 2500 Switches
The HP ProCurve Series 2300 and 2500 Switches are multiport high-speed
switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup
networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low latency
for high-speed networking. With these switches you can directly connect
computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those
devices, and you can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting
these switches to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, the Series 2500
Switches offer full network management capabilities.
This chapter describes your HP Series 2300 and 2500 Switches including:

Throughout this manual, these switches will be abbreviated as the “Series 2300

described, as the “Series 2300 and 2500 Switches”.
