  • Page 9: Introducing The Switch

    Introducing the Switch The HP ProCurve 2910al Switches are multiport switches that can be used to build high-performance switched networks. These switches are store-and- forward devices offering low latency for high-speed networking. The 2910al switches also support Redundant Power Supply and Power over Ethernet technologies.
  • Page 10 Introducing the Switch The 2910al-24G Switch and 2910al-48G Switch have respectively, 24 or 48, auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports, four dual-personality ports— either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini-GBIC, and two slots are provided in the back of the device to support expansion modules: 2-port (two fixed CX4 ports) 10 Gigabit per second Ethernet (10-GbE) ■...
  • Page 11 Introducing the Switch The 2910al-PoE+ Switches also support Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+) technology. PoE+ offers a higher wattage per port than the previous PoE offering, 30 watts per port instead of 15. The switches support 802.3af standard devices and some pre-standard PoE devices. It also supports the draft version of the 802.3at standard.

  • Page 64 Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips Because the switch behaves in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configu- ration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the switch and the device.
  • Page 65 Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips ■ Check the port configuration. A port on your switch may not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.
