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.
Front View Detail Figure 46 shows the front panel of the HP V1905-24 Switch JD990A 26-Port unit. Figure 46 HP V1905-24 Switch JD990A 26-Port—front panel. Figure 47 shows the front panel of the HP V1905-24-PoE Switch JD992A 26-Port unit.
Figure 47 HP V1905-24-PoE Switch JD992A 26-Port—front panel. Figure 48 shows the front panel of the HP V1905-48 Switch JD994A 50-Port unit. Figure 48 HP V1905-48 Switch JD994A 50-Port—front panel. LED Status Indicators The Switch provides LED indicators on the front panel to monitor the switch.
The SFP module is not inserted or is not recognized. Green The port is supplying power to the device connected to it. PoE Power (Only supported by HP The port is not supply power to the device connected to it V1905-24-PoE Switch JD992A) or not connected.
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).
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.
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.
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.
Page 14
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: Hold the transceiver so that the fiber connector is toward you and the product label is visible, as shown Figure 51.Ensure the wire release lever is closed (in the upright position).
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...
Page 16
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...
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. This chapter introduces the setting the menu items and buttons that are available on the Web interface. The following topics are covered: Requirements for Accessing the Web Interface ...

VLANs function at Layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within the VLAN, a Layer 3 router working at a protocol level is required to allow traffic flow between VLANs. Layer 3 routers identify segments and coordinate with VLANs. Broadcast and Multicast traffic is transmitted only in the VLAN in which the traffic is generated.
Modifying VLAN The Modify VLAN Page allows the network manager to change VLAN membership. CAUTION: At least one port must always be an untagged member of VLAN 1 (the management VLAN). If you choose to connect all ports to VLANs other than VLAN 1, you will no longer be able to access the Web interface. If this happens, you will need to reset the switch to factory settings.

Aggregating Port Overview Link aggregation aggregates multiple physical Ethernet ports into one logical link, called a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). It allows you to increase bandwidth by distributing traffic across the member ports in the aggregation group. In addition, it provides reliable connectivity because these member ports can dynamically back up each other.
Among the selected ports in an aggregation group, the one with smallest port number operates as the master port. Other selected ports are the member ports. Static LACP Aggregation A static LACP aggregation group is also manually created. All its member ports are manually added and can be manually removed (this prevents the system from automatically adding or removing ports from the group).
