This section shows a few sample network topologies in which the Switch 2650
is implemented. For more topology information, see the ProCurve networking

As a Desktop Switch

Twisted-pair
straight-through
or crossover
cables
The Series 2600 Switches are designed to be used primarily as desktop
switches to which end nodes, printers, other peripherals, and servers are
directly connected, as shown in the above illustration. The end node devices
are connected to the switch by straight-through or crossover twisted-pair
cables. Either cable type can be used because of the "HP Auto-MDIX" and
"IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X" features on the Series 2600 Switches.
