Connectivity Quick Reference
for the HP AdvanceStack Switch 2000
100VG Connectivity
•
Basic Configuration Guidelines:
The default Mode setting for the 100VG ports on the Switch 2000 and Switch-16 is
Auto Detect. When connecting these switches to other network devices, such as hubs
or other switches, the Auto Detect setting works in most cases and should be tried
before making any configuration changes. When connecting these switches to PCs and
workstations that have HP 10/100VG LAN Adapters, HP recommends setting the
Mode to Master.
Other allowable Mode settings are shown in the illustrations on the following pages
under “Port Mode”. The port Mode can be set through the Configuration menu using
the Switch 2000 console interface.
•
Connections: 100VG ports on the Switch 2000 must not be connected to any 100VG
ports labeled “Uplink”. These ports are reserved for hub-to-hub connections.
Note that the illustrations show only twisted-pair connections; devices supporting
fiber-optic connections are connected similarly.
