HP 2610 VLAN Name limit
We are Cisco end to end but are considering purchasing HP switches for some of our clients. We have a HP 2610 on test at the moment and wish to create the same VLANs that we have on our Cisco switches on the HP. We have one VLAN that has a name greater than 12 characters long, when we try to create this VLAN on the HP we get an error message that the allowed length for a VLAN name is 12 characters. Therefore, is there any way we can get the HP to create a VLAN with a name longer than 12 characters? There is no possibility that we can shorten the VLAN names on the Cisco switches, as these are controlled by a different department.
Any help appreciated :)

Re: HP 2610 VLAN Name limit
There is no way around the VLAN name length limitation on the 2610 series that I know of (switches running K series code allow longer names).
However the VLAN name is not what uniquely determines identifies and VLAN, it's the VLAN ID. In other words if you're tagging VLANs between Cisco and HP the names don't need to match.

Re: HP 2610 VLAN Name limit
Get this CLI ref guide, it shows how to configure HP ProVision, HP Comware5 and Cisco switches for lots of different functions, in a side-by-side comparison, so if you know one CLI, you see how to do it in a different CLI:
