ProCurve Switch 4200vl Series Background:
ProCurve Networking by HP launched the ProCurve Switch 4200vl Series chassis in February 2006 to provide a high–quality, cost–effective and flexible alternative to stackable switches at the edge of the network. The 4200vl series features an innovative form factor and provides comparable density to stackables, but with no stacking cables required. The 10/100 and Gigabit ports can be optimized for flexible options making it ideal for companies that desire the flexibility and performance of a chassis at the price of a stackable.
New Chassis Added:
