Figure 1a: physical view of localized workgroup connections
As illustrated in Figure 1, you can easily connect local workgroups of up to 24 devices
including workstations, servers, printers, faxes, digital scanners, hubs, switches, and other
workgroup appliances to a single hp procurve switch gl 10/100 module.
to using typical fixed form factor 24 + 2 (24 10/100 ports and 2 gigabit Ethernet ports)
Ethernet switches such as the HP Procurve Switch 2524.
devices for this particular workgroup are connected to the same HP Procurve Switch GL
10/100-TX module (J4862A), all traffic within this workgroup is switched locally on the
module at wire-speed as shown in Figure 1b.
