• Port 24 is used as the interconnect to the Root Console Switch
• Ports 11 and 12 are unused.
2.3.2 Root Console S witch Ports
The following switches are supported as Root Console Switch es for the Conso le Bran ch of the
System Administration network. T he Console Branch functio ns at a lower speed (10 /10 0 Mbps)
than the rest of the Sy stem Administration network.
• ProCurve2650switch(Section2.3.2.1)
• ProCurve2626switch(Section2.3.2.2)
2.3.2.1 ProCurve 2650 Switch
A ProCurve 2650 switch can be used as a Root Console Switch for the Console Branch of the
System Administration network. T he Console Branch functio ns at a lower speed (10 /10 0 Mbps)
than the rest of the Sy stem Administration network.
The ProCurve 2 650 switch is shown in Figure 2-5. In the figure, white ports should not have
connections, black ports can have connections, and port s w i th numbered callouts are used for
specific purposes, described after the figure.

Ethernet Ports
1 Port 42 mu st be used for the console port of the head node.
2 Port 49 is reserved.
3 Port 50 is th e Gigabit Ethernet link t o the Root Ad mi n istr ati on Switch.
The ports on this switch must be allocated as follows for consistency with the administrat ion
switches:
• Ports 1–10, 13–22, 25–34, 37–41
- Starting with po rt 1, the ports are used for links from Branch Console Switches.
Trunking is not used.
- Starting with po rt 41 and in descending order, ports are assigned for use by individual
root nodes. A root node is a no de that is connected directly to the Root A d ministration
Switch.
______________________ Note ______________________
There must be at least one idle port in this set to indicate the dividing line
between branch links an d root node administration ports.
• Ports 11, 12, 2 3, 24, 35, 36, and 43–48 are unused.
