HP Procurve 2626

[Gareth Grimshaw]

I am new to the VLAN world and wish to setup a switch for testing purposes. The scenario is as follows.
On the switch have three VLAN's VID 1,2,3.
On VID 1 There will be a DHCP server. The network addresses i desire are
192.168.1.0/24 on VID 1
192.168.2.0/24 on VID 2
192.168.3.0/24 on VID 3

So far i have created the VLANs however i cannot work out how to route data between on the three VLAN's. Do i require an external router to carry this out, following the instructions of the management guide it implied that if you use tagged ports then an external router would be required. however i have configured the ports to use untagged ports.
Can anyone provide any help or links to resources where i could find further information, many thanks in advance!

The 2626 does do static routing you need to enable this with the "ip routing command" Also if your DHCP server is in VLAN you will need to forward the DHCP request from the VLAN's 2 and 3 via the "IP helper-address" command. Remember the default gateway for each VLAN will be the ip address of the 2626. In my example I used .1. Here is a sample config:

ip routing

vlan 1
name "DEFAULT_VLAN"
untagged 1-8
tagged 25,26
ip address 192.168.1.1/24
exit
vlan 2
name "admin"
untagged 9-17
tagged 25,26
ip address 192.168.2.1/24
ip helper-address 192.168.1.50
exit
vlan 3
name "users"
untagged 17-24
tagged 25,26
ip address 192.168.3.1/24
ip helper-address 192.168.1.50
exit

Super answer! You must rate it at 10 points!

[Gareth Grimshaw]

I will rate this don not worry! Why, in the example have you used tagged ports on 25 and 26?

On the 2626 ports 25 and 26 are the gigabit uplinks. I wanted to ensure your VLAN's were propogated to your other switches. If this is your only switch not to worry you dont need the tagging..... Andy
