HP XL5304 --- A convert from Cisco

[Bob-WCS]

Good Morning All,

I am a former Cisco Switch Guy and am now using HP Procruve

Just wondering the best way to add a seperate VLAN for SAN Unit?

I currently only have one VLAN Configured and would like to add a second vlan with its own IP Range.  I do not need to route bettween the primary VLAN "Core" and the Secondary Vlan "Drobo"  

The Drobo SAN VLAN will have 9 ports assigned to it on the 172.xx.xx.xx network

My Primary Network 10.2.xx.xx

Thank for the help

Bob

Hi Bob-WCS,

To add an additionakl VLAN to a HP switch issue the following command from "con t"...

vlan 99 name <VLAN Name>

to add ports to that VLAN use the following cmd...

vlan 99 untagged <ports> (e.g. vlan 99 untagged 1,4,6-8,12)

*In HPs world, an untagged port can only be a member of one VLAN.

If you don't need to route between the VLANs and manage the switch from the new VLAN then that is it. You now have an additional VLAN seperated from your primary VLAN with the ports you specified as members.

HTH.

Hi Bob,

If you are a Cisco convert, the "HP Networking and Cisco CLI Reference Guide" should be all you need to get up and running quickly: http://h17007.www1.hp.com/docs/interoperability/Cisco/HP-Networking-and-Cisco-CLI-Reference-Guide_June_10_WW_Eng_ltr.pdf
