Help! Trunk on HP Procurve switches

[Takkari]

Hello,

I am trying to get a trunk group configured in our network.

We have a heavy traffic link on the core switch (5308xl) that is connected to the 2510g, which is also a part of the vlan 100 and I would like to get three ports on each switch into a trunk group.

I've read some about dynamic lacp and static lacp...

I do not want use dynamic lacp because with dynamic the trunk group will become part of the defaul vlan.

So either static lacp or just static trunk are my options.

I am new to this and don't have much experience configuring this in enterprise networks..

I've played with cisco gear mostly and haven't had much exposure to hp switches.. so any help in this regard would be

great!

Thanks!

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

Configure the procurve to be "trunk" and on the H3C, do not configure "link-aggregation mode dynamic" on the bridge-agg interface.

Can you please elaborate. I am a novice at this.

Thanks a lot!

On the H3C, on the physical interface, configure:

 port link-aggregation group 1

On the procurve, globally, configure:

trunk 1,2 trk1 trunk

(where 1,2 are the two physical interfaces you want trunked together).

Vince is right, but I don't think there are any Comware/H3C switches in this environment. Both the 5300 and 2510 are ProCurve switches.

on each switch do the following:

trunk 23-24 trk1 lacp              <-- this creates the aggregation link using port 23 and 24

vlan 1 untagged trk1                <-- example VLAN settings; this will depend on your local config

vlan 100 tagged trk1
