SFP in Procurve 2810

Can any one tell me what is the use of sfp in procurve 2810-48g

The use of sfp is to be able to have fiberoptic connectivity.

if i connect between two procurve 2810 switch means it'll communicate them

If you use an sfp module in each of your switches, then you will be able to communicate between each switch, obviously depending on what other protocols you may have setup on them, vlans etc.

HI ,
there are not setup made on procurve.in my router i configured two ports with two subnet that the ports connected to two procurve.

procurve1-10.178.34.64\26
procurve2-10.178.33.128\26


this is the working setup now if i connect sfp between 2 procurve means it communicate between them or i need to configure any thing.if i want to configure in both the procurve means tell me the steps.

Wat are you trying to achieve? from what you have mentioned it sounds like each switch will have its own vlan (or subnet) and you then want to connect teh two switches together? is this for resilience? or for a redundant path?

[BALAJI_16]

Its for redundant path when in sw1 all the ports were given to server NICS. And Sw2 given to all the servers ILO so in case sw1 goes down means there is no redundant path thats why i'm asking.

You would need to put NIC1 on one switch and NIC2 on the other and set ya teaming to Network Fault Tolerance if you want resilience on the switches. Using LACP on the two SFP ports from SW1 to SW2 will only give you resilience on the connection, not the switches if you have all the NICs on one switch and the iLO on the other.
