Example Network Topologies
This section shows you a few example network topologies in which the Switch
5300xl Series can be implemented. For more topology information, see the
ProCurve Networking Web site,
Basic Connectivity
Figure 2-14. Basic topology
The Switch 5300xl Series can provide basic network connectivity to a high
number of users. End nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers can
be easily connected, as shown in the above illustration.
Notice the end node devices are connected to the switch by either straight-
through or crossover twisted-pair cables. Either cable type can be used
because of the “HP Auto-MDIX” feature on the 10/100-TX xl Modules and the
standard “Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature on the 100/1000-T xl Transceiver to which
the server is connected. The six twisted-pair ports on the
100/1000-T xl Module also support the “Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature.
