Root Administration Switch
The Root Administration Switch for the Administration Network of an HP XC system can be either a ProCurve
2848 switch or a ProCurve 2824 switch for small configurations.
If you are using a ProCurve 2848 switch as the switch at the center of the Administration Network, use
Figure 2-5 to make the appropriate port connections. In the figure, white ports should not have connections,
black ports can have connections, and ports with numbered callouts are used for specific purposes, described
after the figure. Gray-colored ports are reserved for future use.

Connections to Node Administration Ports
Begin at Port 41 (Descending)
Uplinks from Branches
Begin at Port 1 (Ascending)
The callouts in Figure 2-5 enumerate the following:
1. Port 42 must be used for the administration port of the head node.
2. Ports 43 through 46 are connected to the Super Root Switch if you are configuring a large-scale system.
3. Port 47 can be one of the following:
• Connection (or line monitoring card) for the interconnect
• Interlink to a separate switch (10/100) containing multiple interconnects
4. Port 48 is used as the interconnect to the Root Console Switch (ProCurve 2650 or ProCurve 2626)
The ports on this switch must be allocated as follows for maximum performance:
