Introducing the HP Procurve Series 2700
Switches
The HP Procurve Series 2700 Switches are multiport 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.
Throughout this manual, these switches will be abbreviated as the Switch 2708
and the Switch 2724 respectively.
The Switch 2708 has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports. The Switch
2724 has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
These switches are designed to be used primarily to provide Gigabit/second
network speed to the desktop. You can also directly connect servers and
peripherals to these switches and connect them to a network backbone or to
other switches, hubs, or routers.
