The v2 zl Modules have the following features:
•
All v2 zl modules share the following features:
◦
auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network operation as
soon as a viable network cable is connected
◦
auto-configuration—a default configuration is applied to the module when the switch is
powered on and the module passes self test; this default configuration works well for
most network installations
◦
LEDs that provide information for each port on the link status, network activity, connection
bandwidth (speed), communication mode (half or full duplex)
◦
“hot swap modules” operation—you can add a module or replace a module without
having to shut down the switch
◦
“hot swap SFPs” operation—you can add, replace, or change the type of any of the
SFPs that you use without having to first remove the module, and without having to shut
down the switch
◦
the RJ-45 ports on all modules have the
HPE Auto-MDIX
and the IEEE 802.3ab
Auto
MDI/MDI-X
feature. These features operate the same way and allow you to use either
straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables for all the twisted-pair network
connections. (See the note on “Automatic Cable Sensing” in
Automatic Cable Sensing
on Twisted-Pair Ports
.)
