Re: Trunk port configuration between Two HP Procurve Switch

What switch model and software version is your 2nd switch? My example was from a 2530 switch running YA.16.03.0003 and it has the option to specify a source vlan or IP address

2530-SWITCH# ping ?
 data-fill             Specify the data pattern to send.
 data-size             Specify the ping data size.
 HOST-NAME-STR         The hostname to ping.
 interval              Specify the interval between pings in seconds.
 IP-ADDR               The IPv4 address to ping.
 repetitions           Ping the device multiple times.
 source                Specify the ping source.
 timeout               Specify the ping timeout in seconds.

Also do a "show running-config interface D13" on the 2nd switch to see if there is any config that may affect the traffic, like port security.

Re: Trunk port configuration between Two HP Procurve Switch

That is old hardware. I see HP has released version L.11.46 for this switch. Is there any chance you can upgrade the switch software and see if this fixes the problem?

Re: Trunk port configuration between Two HP Procurve Switch

Yes , I can upgrade the Switch version if this will not affect the current running Process. my other switch is as well Version L.11.40 and if i upgrade the version of one switch and doesnt to the 1st one will it affect any thing ?

Re: Trunk port configuration between Two HP Procurve Switch

You need to reboot the switch after upgrading it, so there will be some downtime for connected equipment. You can upgrade your two 4204 switches one at a time, there is no requirement for them to run the exact same software version.

The software can be downloaded here:

https://h10145.www1.hpe.com/Downloads/DownloadSoftware.aspx?SoftwareReleaseUId=17556&ProductNumber=J8770A&lang=en&cc=us&prodSeriesId=1827689&SaidNumber=

If you use any kind of switch management system (PCM or IMC) then the update can be done from there. Otherwise you can use a TFTP server.

1. Download the software to the TFTP server and unpack it.

2. Copy the current software to the secondary boot image just in case something goes wrong

 copy flash flash secondary

2. Copy the software from the TFTP server to the switch:

 copy tftp flash x.x.x.x L.11.46.swi primary       x.x.x.x is the TFTP server

3. Reboot the switch

The commands must be run from the switch CLI.
