Re: What does Bnt mean!
Incase of P class enclosures there are three kind of interconnect modules
1.GbE ( Dlink IOS)
2.GbE2 (Nortel WebOS)
3.CGESM ( Cisco IOS)
Also what is the difference between Layer 2 and Layer 2+.
Out of above 3 the GbE and GbE2 are Layer 2 swithes. But
CGESM is a Layer 2+ switch which recognizes many layer 3 functions, but not IP routing.

Sooraj

HP has no "own" blade switches. Cisco makes another version and this BNT another model.

Re: What does Bnt mean!
HP GBE2,HP GbE2c, HP GBE2c L2/3, HP 1:10 BLc & HP 10G BLc are all Bnt products with HP Badging....but made specifically for HP by Bnt (ex Nortel) they make similar versions for IBM.
CEGSM, 3020, 3120G, 3120X are all Cisco products with some HP branding. Similarly Cisco make the 3020 for dell as the 3030 and the 3040 for FujitsuSiemens
Virtual Connect can be classed as a switch (but it does not switch) and can be classed as HP "own" as HP designed it(but its contracted manufactured under HP license by someone else only for HP).
Procurve is HP's true "own" brand switch but there are no models that fit the blade enclosures.
