Vlan Procurve 2650

[Simon Potter]

I have just purchased a Procurve 2650 with the aim to setup nine vlans and to share one resource. I am able to setup nine vlans via a serial cable and hyperterminal. all pc's are able to work in their resective vlans, when i try and share port 1 to all vlans no traffic will pass through. am i would like to configure the switch in this way. ie VLAN1 ports 1-9, Vlan2 ports 1,10-19, Vlan3 1,20-29... etc.

Thanks

Simon

terminal in and do the following:

conf t
vlan 1
untagged 1-9
vlan 2
untagged 10-19
tagged 1
vlan 3
untagged 20-29
tagged 1
etc...

Then, say you're connected to a cisco router you'd do

int fa1/1.1
description VLAN1
ip address bla.bla.bla.bla SM.SM.SM.SM
etc

If it is a server or computer, youn eed to install the management piece for the NIC and enable VLANs (see attached scerenshot for example)


Alternatively, you can turn on IP routing within the switch itself to route between the VLANs, you must aassign subnets

ie

conf t
ip routing
vlan 1
ip address 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0
untagged 1-9
vlan 2
ip address 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0
untagged 10-19
tagged 1
vlan 3
ip address 10.3.0.0 255.255.0.0
untagged 20-29
tagged 1
etc...
A great subnet calculator is located here http://www.telusplanet.net/public/sparkman/netcalc.htm if you aren't familiar with subnetting.


Hope this helps, let me know if you need more info
