1 Port 45 is used for the trunked lin k to th e Ro ot A dm inistration Switch.
2 Port 46 is used for the trunked lin k to th e Ro ot A dm inistration Switch.
The ports on this swit ch must be allocated as follows for maximum performance:
• Ports 1–10, 13–22, 25–34, and 37–44 are used for the administration ports for the individ ual
nodes(upto38nodes).
• Ports 11, 12, 23, 24, 35, 36, 47, and 48 are unused.
The ProCurve 2 824 switch is shown in Figure 2-8. In the figure, white ports should not have
connections, black ports can have connections, and ports with numbered callouts are used for a
specific purposes, described after the figure.

1 Port 22 is used fo r the link to the Root Administration Switch.
The ports on this swit ch must be allocated as follows for maximum performance:
• Ports 1–10 and 13–21 are used for the a dm in istration ports for the individual nod es (up
to 19 n odes).
• Ports 11, 12, 23, and 24 are unused.
2.3.4 Branch Console Switch Ports for Nodes
The Branch Conso le Switch of an XC system is a ProCurve 2650 switch. T he connections to
the ports must parallel the connections of the corresponding Branch Administration Switch. If a
particular node uses port N on a B ranch A dm inistration Switch, its management console port
must be connected to port N on the corresponding Branch Console Switch.
Figure 2-9 shows the ProCurve 2650 switch. In the figure, white ports should n ot have
connections, black ports can have connections, and ports with numbered callouts are used for a
specific purpose, described after the figure.
