VLAN with ProCurve 2824 and ProCurve 1400

[Eric Zylstra]

Sort of a newbie question.

VLANs are defined on the 2824.  The 1400 is unmanaged, but supports VLANs according to the documentation.  Since it is unmanaged, I can't define the VLANs on it, also, which I understand is the proper way to implement VLANs between two managed switches.  Does it just pick up the VLAN information from the 2824?

P.S. This thread has been moved from Switches, Hubs, Modems (Legacy ITRC forum) to ProCurve / ProVision-Based. -HP Forum Moderator

My description is not quite accurate, so hopefully this will be more accurate.  

Traffic is between a Solaris server running SAS and a Linux server running Oracle.  They are on different subnets.  Between them, we have a Juniper firewall (JunOS), an ProCurve 1400, and a ProCurve 2824.  

Solaris/SAS----ProCurve1400----JuniperFW----ProCurve2824---Linux/Oracle

The ProCurve2824 is doing VLANs on the Linux/Oracle side, but not on the JuniperFW side.

Most queries to Oracle from SAS are fine.  Ask for 16 variables from a database with a few thousand records, the jobs usually fail (lots of IP RSTs are generated at failure, and about 1 in 8 runs it works).  Ask for only 12 variables, the job completes every time.

I think I'm off topic for this list, but I thought anyone who bothered to look at my first submission deserved a better explanation.

Sorry but there is no VLAN support in the 1400 spec. Look carefully, there is no 802.1q here :

To have VLAN, you will have to buy at least a 1810G
