You should be able to connect the hub ports to a switch with no problem.
With the 2507, you can use the 'auto-polarity' command and the hub ports
will actually detect polarity (i.e. if the connection should be crossed
or straight thru) and it will adjust automatically, so you should be
able to use either a crossover or a straight-thru cable to connect the
hub port to anything (i.e. switch, PC, another hub, etc). I know we've
connected our field 2507's to 1900 and 2900XL switches, so I would have
to believe it would work with a 3550.

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect the hub ports on a 2507 to
a 3550 switch. I tried a crossover cable, setting the speed and duplex
speed to 10half on switch, setting swithport to routed port, but
nothing works. Hub ports only seem to work if directly plugged into
another router or PC.
