ProCurve 2650 Switch
A ProCurve 2650 switch can be used as a Root Console Switch for the Console Branch of the Administration
network. The Console Branch functions at a lower speed (10/100 Mbps) than the rest of the Administration
network.
The ProCurve 2650 switch is shown in Figure 2-7. 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.

Ethernet Ports
The callouts in Figure 2-7 enumerate the following:
1. Port 42 must be reserved for an optional connection to the console port on the head node.
2. Port 49 is reserved.
3. Port 50 is the Gigabit Ethernet link to the Root Administration Switch.
The ports on this switch must be allocated as follows for consistency with the administration switches:
• Ports 1–10, 13–22, 25–34, 37–41
Starting with port 1, the ports are used for links from Branch Console Switches. Trunking is not
used.
•
• Starting with port 41 and in descending order, ports are assigned for use by individual root nodes.
A root node is a node that is connected directly to the Root Administration Switch.
Note
There must be at least one idle port in this set to indicate the dividing line between branch links
and root node administration ports.
• Ports 11, 12, 23, 24, 35, 36, and 43–48 are unused.
ProCurve 2626 Switch
A ProCurve 2626 switch can be used as a Root Console Switch for the Console Branch of the Administration
Network. The ProCurve 2626 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 specific
purposes, described after the figure.
