Re: Connecting two procurves and cisco switches
Trunk is:
- HP: a bundle of several ethernet connections
- Cisco: a link that carries several VLANs with dot1q or ISL encapsulation.
The latter question about Cisco Catalysts and HP switches. If Cisco is "switchport mode trunk", you set up the HP as follows (port A1 is connected to the Cisco as an example:
vlan 1
untagged a1
vlan 2
tagged a1
vlan 3
tagged a1
vlan x (any other vlan number that should be trunked)
tagged a1
vlan y
tagged a1
and so on.
This assumes that the Cisco has VLAN 1 as the native VLAN (this is the default situation).

Re: Connecting two procurves and cisco switches
As for the procurve to procurve, no luck at all. The link lights are up in both directions, and I tagged the vlans, but no luck.
I must qualify, also that I have two links per switch for redundancy. Any ideas on how to configure so they use both.

Re: Connecting two procurves and cisco switches
To connect 2 switches, with one fiber, plug in ports with the same topology like 1000 sx, and see that link is establish, if not, revise VLAN, port disable. Also you can see the firmware versions of both.
When first link is establish, trunking is the solution for the second link.

Re: Connecting two procurves and cisco switches
After succeeding with one link, then make up the link bundles (EtherChannels (Cisco) or trunks (HP)), and just replace the port specifications (f.ex. A2) in the configuration with the bundle port specifications (f.ex. Trunk2).
In Cisco, making an EtherChannel creates a new interface called Port-Channel x (x is a number), and that interface name is used since it has been created.
In HP, I've not configured any link bundles, but the same concept is valid: first create the bundle, then use the bundle name instead of separate physical port names.
If you can show some configurations I guess we can help you in more detail.

Re: Connecting two procurves and cisco switches
Coupled with ensuring that the gig ports on the 5308 were set to auto, I got online OK.
