The dual-personality ports support either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45, or SFP (mini-GBIC) transceivers. The SFP ports do not support PoE. If any of the SFP ports are used, the corresponding RJ-45 port will not be supplied with PoE power and will be disabled. For more information regarding the PoE capabilities of the 3500yl and 3500 PoE switches, see the HP ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) Planning and Implementation Guide.

The 3500 and 3500yl switches can be connected to an HP ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) and receive redundant power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/ EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running. This includes power to run the switch and PoE power. If maximum PoE power is being used on all 48 ports, a 620 RPS/EPS is necessary to provide full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there is no redundancy.

The 6200yl switch can be connected to the HP ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) and receive redundant power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/EPS unit will immediately provide the power necessary to keep the switch running. The 6200yl does not support PoE power.

The 6200yl, 3500yl and 3500 switches are designed to be used primarily as a high-density wiring closet or desktop switch. These switches can directly connect computers, printers and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices. By connecting the switch to hubs, other switches or routers, they can be used to build a switched network infrastructure. In addition, the 3500yl switches offer full network management capabilities.

This chapter describes the 3500yl, 6200yl and 3500 switches, including:

Network Ports

■All RJ-45 ports provide “HP Auto MDIX” features, which means you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect any network devices to the switch.

■The 3500 and 3500yl switches provide four, dual-personality ports that support either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector or an HP ProCurve SFP (mini-GBIC) for fiber-optic connections.

The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X feature, which means you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect any network device to the switch.

Dual-Personality Port Operation. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it is enabled and the associated RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot be used. If the mini-GBIC is removed, the associated RJ-45 port is automatically re-enabled.

The RJ-45 connector also supplies PoE power until a mini-GBIC is installed. The PoE power is turned off when a mini-GBIC is plugged in.

Reset Button

This button is used to reset the switch while it is powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred and executes the switch self test. It is also used when restoring the switch factory default configuration. See the Clear Button section, Restoring Factory Default Configuration.

Clear Button

This button is used for these purposes:

■Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access.

This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet.

■Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the Reset button in a specific pattern, any configuration changes you may have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, and SNMP management are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” on page 11, in chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” of this manual.

RPS and EPS Input Port

The 3500, 3500yl and 6200yl switches support connectivity to a redundant power supply. The “ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) is an accessory product for these Switches. The RPS/EPS provides redundant and additional PoE power to the switch products to back up the power supply in the switch in case of loss of AC or PoE power. Or, if maximum PoE power is being used on all 48 ports, a 620 RPS/EPS will be necessary to provide full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there would be no redundancy.

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “10. Connect a Console to the Switch (Optional)” on page 20 in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch.” The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. The console port is located on the front of the 3500-24, 3500yl-24G and 6200yl-24G switches, and on the back of the 3500-48 and 3500yl-48G switches.

Power Connector

The 3500, 3500yl and 6200yl switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. These switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100--240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Switch Features

The features of the 3500, 3500yl and 6200yl Switches include:

■The 3500yl have 24 or 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports. The 3500 have 20 or 44 auto-sensing 10/100Base-T RJ-45 ports.

■Four dual-personality ports—either the auto sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or the SFP (mini-GBIC) transceivers can be used for each port.

■The 6200yl provides 24 mini-GBIC ports.

■One module slot is provided in the back of the yl switches to support a series of transceivers to provide connectivity to other switch boxes, to a 10 Gig concentrator or to any Ethernet compatible uplink.

■The auxiliary port is reserved for future development.

■The switches can be connected to an HP ProCurve RPS/EPS and receive redundant power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running.

■Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation—the 3500-24-PoE, 3500-48-PoE and 3500yl switches are IEEE 802.af compliant and provide up to 15.4 W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, web cameras, and more. For more information, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide.

■Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the network cables to active network devices and your switched network is operational.

■Auto MDI/MDI-X on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 twisted-pair ports, meaning that all connections can be made using straight-through twistedpair cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work. The pin operation of each port is automatically adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that another switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI; if the switch detects that an end-node device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X.

■Automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 8000address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).

■Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100 and 10/100/ 1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices—the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex.

■Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:
