connect two hp procurve 2524 switches to add more ports
I have two hp procurve 2524, 24 port switchs. One of them is completely full (all ports are being used). Can I connect the second procurve to the first one (by one ethernet cable) to add more ports instead of buying a 48 port switch. Would that work.

I finally ended up connecting the two switches and yes the network connection on the second switch was degraded. I am in the process of upgrading the switch to a
Cisco SG200-50P
50 Ports 10/100/1000
Ports 49 & 50 are dual personality RJ45 / mini GBIC for direct fiber connection.
Ports 1-12, 25-36 are POE up to 180 Watts.
I am hoping this switch will make vlan setup easier as well.

Of the Procurves I manage, I find the 2524 the least capable and interesting to continue to use, but sure it can be done.
