Is the switch fanless?

Yes, the HP ProCurve 1700-8 is completely fanless for silent operation, making it ideal for open offices. It mounts on horizontal surfaces and uses an external AC power adapter, ensuring no mechanical noise in deployments.

How is the switch managed?

Management is via an intuitive web interface for configuration of VLANs, QoS, trunking (up to 4 trunks, 7 links each), and port mirroring for traffic analysis. It also supports IEEE 802.1p prioritization and broadcast control without needing advanced CLI skills.

What are the performance specs?

Delivers up to 2.0 million pps throughput (64-byte packets), 3.4 Gbps switching capacity, and an 8000-entry MAC address table. Ethernet speeds are 10/100/1000 Mbps with features like link aggregation for redundancy.

What LEDs are available?

Comprehensive per-port LEDs show link/activity status, speed (10/100/1000), and full-duplex operation, plus power and global status indicators. This aids quick troubleshooting in production environments.

What power option does it use?

Powered by an external AC power adapter (country-specific, e.g., 5188-5671 for US), with low consumption around 18W max. This design simplifies replacements and suits desktop or shelf mounting.

Product overview

The HP ProCurve 1700-8 Switch (J9079A, SKU J9079A) is a web-managed Layer 2 switch from the ProCurve Switch 1700 Series, designed for SMB environments. It features 7 auto-sensing 10/100 ports (IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u Type 100Base-TX) with Auto-MDIX and half/full duplex support, plus 1 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 port (IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet). Ethernet speeds reach 10/100/1000 Mbps, with IEEE 802.1p prioritization and broadcast control for traffic management. Management occurs via an intuitive web interface and port mirroring for monitoring. Comprehensive LEDs indicate per-port status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation. The fanless desktop form factor ensures silent operation and horizontal surface mounting. Powered by an external AC power adapter, it delivers reliable performance for small networks transitioning to managed setups, supporting up to 2.0 million pps throughput and 3.4 Gbps switching capacity with an 8000-entry MAC address table.
