NOTE:
This manual applies to the HP V1905-48 Switch JD994A, HP V1905-24 Switch JD990A, and HP
V1905-24-PoE Switch JD992A, which are referred to as the Switch.
This manual uses the Web interfaces of the HP V1905-24-PoE Switch JD992A in the example text.
This chapter contains introductory information about the installation of the Switch and how the Switch can
be used in your network. It covers the following topics:
Introducing the Switch
Installing the Switch
Configuring IP Address
Introducing the Switch
This chapter covers summary information about the hardware and the following topics:

Overview of the Switch
The HP V1905-24 Switch JD990A is a versatile, easy-to-use configurable switch.
The HP V1905-24-PoE Switch JD992A is a versatile, easy-to-use configurable Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) Switch.
The HP V1905-48 Switch JD994A is a versatile, easy-to-use configurable switch.
Each Switch is ideal for users who want the high-speed performance of 10/100 switching with the added
functionality of Gigabit copper and fiber links, but do not need sophisticated management capabilities. The
Switch is shipped ready for use. No configuration is necessary.
Summary of Hardware Features
Table 37 summarizes the hardware features supported by the Switch.
Table 37 Hardware Features
Feature Descri
p
tion
Addresses Up to 8192 supported.
Auto-negotiation Supported on all ports.

Feature Descri
p
tion
Forwarding Modes
Store and Forward.
Duplex Modes Half and full duplex on all front panel ports.
Auto MDI/MDIX
Supported on all ports. If fiber SFP transceivers are used, Auto
MDIX is not supported.
Flow Control In full duplex operation all ports are supported.
Traffic Prioritization Four traffic queues per port.
Ethernet Ports
10/100 Mbps ports.
Each port automatically determines the speed and duplex mode of
the connected equipment and provides a suitable switched
connection. The 10/100 Mbps ports can operate in either
half-duplex or full-duplex mode.
Gigabit Combo Ports
The 2 Gigabit combo ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet
short-wave (SX) and long-wave (LX) SFP transceivers in any
combination. This offers you the flexibility of using SFP transceivers
to provide connectivity between the Switch and a 1000 Mbps core
network.
When an SFP port is in operation, the corresponding 1000BASE-T
port is disabled. The 1000 Mbps connections can only operate in
full duplex mode.
Mounting 19-inch rack or standalone mounting.
Fanless design (supported by HP
V1905-24 Switch JD990A and HP
V1905-48 Switch JD994A)
Silent operation whether used in a rack or desktop situation.
PoE (Only supported by HP
V1905-24-PoE Switch JD992A)
Each RJ-45 port supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. Any
802.3af compliant device attached to a port can directly draw
power from the switch over the Ethernet cable without requiring its
own separate power source. This capability gives network
administrators centralized power control for devices such as IP
phones and wireless access points, which translates into greater
network availability.

Installing the Switch
This section contains information that you need to install and set up the switch. It covers the following topics:
Before You Begin
Positioning the Switch
Rack-Mounting or Free-Standing
Supplying Power to the Switch
Checking for Correct Operation
Using SFP Transceivers
Performing Spot Checks
Before You Begin
Before installing or removing any components from the switch or carrying out any maintenance procedures,
read the Safety and Compliance Guide chapter in this guide.
Positioning the Switch
The switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be free-standing or mounted in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Alternatively, the switch can be rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. A mounting kit,
containing two mounting brackets and four screws, is supplied with the switch.
When deciding where to position the switch, ensure that:
It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave ovens, and air
conditioning units. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with the signals on copper cabling and
introduce errors, thereby slowing down your network.
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
Air flow around the unit and through the vents on the side of the case is not restricted (HP recommends
that you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance).
The air is as free from dust as possible.
Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. HP recommends that the unit is installed in
a clean, air conditioned environment.
NOTE:
It is always good practice to wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to a ground point when installing
network equipment. If one is not available, try to keep in contact with a
g
rounded rack and avoid touchin
g
the unit's ports and connectors, if possible. Static discharge can cause reliability problems in your
equipment.
6
Rack-Mounting or Free-Standing
The unit can be mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the mounting kit or it can be free standing. Do
not place objects on top of the unit or stack.
CAUTION:
If installing the switch in a free-standing stack of different size Baseline or Super stack 3 units, the smaller
units must be installed above the larger ones. Do not have a free-standing stack of more than six units.
Using the Mounting Kit
The switch is supplied with two mounting brackets and four screws. These are used for rack mounting the
unit. When mounting the unit, refer to the guidelines given in Positioning the Switch.
The switch is 1U (1.7 inches) high and will fit in a standard 19-inch rack.
CAUTION:
Disconnect all cables from the unit before continuing. Remove the self-adhesive pads from the underside
of unit, if already fitted.
To rack-mount the switch:
1. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing towards you.
2. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
3. Insert the two screws supplied in the mounting kit and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver, as
shown in Figure 49.
Figure 49 Rack Mounting the Unit
4. Insert the unit into the 19-inch rack and secure with suitable screws (not provided), as shown in Figure
50
7
Figure 50 Mount the HP V1905 Switch to a rack
5. Reconnect the cables.
Placing Units On Top of Each Other
If the switch units are free-standing, up to six units can be placed one on top of the other. If you are mixing
a variety of Baseline and Super Stack units, the smaller units must be positioned at the top.
If you are placing switch units one on top of the other, you must use the self-adhesive rubber pads supplied.
Apply the pads to the underside of each switch, sticking one in the marked area at each corner.
Place the switch units on top of each other, ensuring that the pads of the upper unit line up with the recesses
of the lower unit.
Supplying Power to the Switch
Power problems can be the cause of serious failures and downtime in your network. Ensure that the power
input to your system is clean and free from sags and surges to avoid unforeseen network outages. HP
recommends that you install power conditioning, especially in areas prone to blackout, power dips and
electrical storms.
The unit is intended to be grounded. Ensure it is connected to earth ground during normal use. Installing
proper grounding helps to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
CAUTION:
Before powering on the switch, verify that the network cables and the power cable are securely connected.
To power on the switch:
1. Plug the power cord into the power socket on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.
8
Checking for Correct Operation
After you power on the switch, it automatically performs a power-on self-test (POST). During POST, the
Power LED on the front panel of the switch flashes green.
When POST is complete, the Power LED turns green. If the Power LED turns yellow after POST, it means that
POST failed and the switch has entered its fail-safe mode.
The following summarizes the possible colors for the Power LED after POST.
Table 40 Summarizes the possible colors for the Power LED after POST
Status Meaning
Green The unit is powered on and ready for use.
Yellow
Power-on self-test or loop back test failed. The switch is in fail-safe mode. This can
happen if a port or ports fail when the switch was powered on.
Off
The unit is not receiving power.
Verify that the power cord is connected correctly, and then try powering on the
switch again
If the switch still does not operate, contact your HP network supplier
If POST fails, try the following:
Power off the switch, and then power it on again. Check the Power LED and see if POST was
successfully completed.
Reset the switch. See “Resetting to Factory Defaults.”
CAUTION:
Resetting the switch to its factory default erases all your settings. You will need to reconfigure the switch
after you reset it.
If these do not resolve the issue, please contact your HP network supplier for assistance.
Using SFP Transceivers
The following sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
NOTE:
SFP transceivers are hot-insertable and hot-swappable. You can remove them from and insert them into
any SFP port without having to power down the switch.
Inserting an SFP Transceiver
To be recognized as valid, the SFP transceiver must have the following characteristics:
1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX media type:
1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver
Use this transceiver to connect the switch directly to a multimode fiber-optic cable.
1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver
9
Use this transceiver to connect the switch directly to a single mode fiber-optic cable or to multi-mode fiber
using a conditioned launch cable.
To activate the SFP port:
1. Hold the transceiver so that the fiber connector is toward you and the product label is visible, as shown
in Figure 51.Ensure the wire release lever is closed (in the upright position).
Figure 51 Inserting an SFP Transceiver
2. Gently slide the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks into place.
CAUTION:
SFP transceivers are keyed and can be properly inserted only one way. If the transceiver does not click
w
hen you insert it, remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it.
3. Remove the plastic protective cover, if fitted.
4. Connect the fiber cable.
5. Attach a male duplex LC connector on the network cable into the duplex LC connector on the
transceiver.
6. Connect the other end of the cable to a device fitted with an appropriate Gigabit Ethernet connection.
7. Check the Module Active LEDs on the front of the switch to ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
Removing an SFP Transceiver
To remove an SFP transceiver:
1. Disconnect the cable from the transceiver.
2. Move the wire release lever downwards until it is pointing toward you.
3. Pull the wire release lever toward you to release the catch mechanism.
The SFP transceiver should slide out easily.
10
Performing Spot Checks
At frequent intervals, you should visually check the switch. Regular checks can give you an early warning
of a possible failure; any problems can then be attended to when there will be least effect on users.
HP recommends periodically checking the items listed in Table 41.
Table 41 Items to Check
Item O
p
eration
Cooling fan
Where possible, check that the cooling fan is operating by listening to the unit. The fan
is fitted near to the front right hand side of the unit (when viewed from the front).
Cabling
Check that all external cabling connections are secure and that no cables are pulled
taut.
Configuring IP Address
The switch’s IP configuration is determined automatically using DHCP, or manually using values you assign.
By default, the switch will use its default IP information. The default IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx. If the
MAC address is 08004E000102, the IP address would be 169.254.1.2.
Automatic IP Configuration using DHCP
When you use the automatic IP configuration method, the switch tries to obtain its IP information without
requesting user intervention from a DHCP server on the network.
You should use the automatic IP configuration method if:
Your network uses DHCP to allocate IP information, or
Flexibility is needed. If the switch is deployed onto a different subnet, it will automatically reconfigure
itself with an appropriate IP address, instead of you having to manually reconfigure the switch.
You can use ip address dhcp-alloc command to define automatic IP configuration method and use display
ip command to view the automatically allocated IP Information through the Console Port (see “CLI Reference
Guide”).
Manual IP Configuration
When you configure the IP information manually, the switch remembers the information that you enter until
you change it again.
You should use the manual IP configuration method if:
You do not have a DHCP server on your network, or
You want to remove the risk of the IP address ever changing, or
Your DHCP server does not allow you to allocate static IP addresses.
11
NOTE:
For most installations, HP recommends that you configure the switch IP information manually. This makes
management simpler and more reliable as it is not dependent on a DHCP server, and eliminates the risk
of the IP address changing.
You can use ip address command to configure the static IP for your switch through the Console Port (see “CLI
Reference Guide”).
12
Connecting To the Web Interface
The switch has a built-in Web interface that you can use to set the user password, change the IP address that
is assigned to the switch, and configure its advanced settings.

Configuring MAC Address Table
MAC addresses are stored in either the static address or the dynamic address databases. A packet
addressed to a destination stored in one of the databases is forwarded immediately to the port.
The Dynamic Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, and MAC address. MAC addresses are
dynamically learned as packets from sources arrive at the switch. MAC addresses are associated with ports
by learning the ports from the frames source address. Frames addressed to a destination MAC address that
is not associated with any port are flooded to all ports of the relevant VLAN.
Static addresses are manually configured. In order to prevent the bridging table from overflowing, dynamic
MAC addresses, from which no traffic is seen for a certain period, are erased.
