HP 3500

[asadkhawaja]

Hello Every One

This is my first post so please be little patient with me thanks. I have over 5 years experience with cisco switches and i am quie good at it but recently my employer wanted me to switch the existing configuration on Cisco Switch to HP3500 and at first it looked like a simple job but after getting some hands-on on HP switches i find it quite confusing.

First the Concept of Tagged and Untagged and then i want to know how to give an ip address to a physical port of the HP switch 3500. Like in cisco you just have to enable ip routing and configure the interface as "No Switchport" and just enter the IP address.

Thanks

The concept of tagged and untagged VLANs on ports is essentially backwards from how Cisco does it. In IOS you add VLANs to a port, while in Provision you add a port to a VLAN.

Cisco:

int fa0/24

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-5

HP:

vlan 1 tagged 24

vlan 2 tagged 24

vlan 3 tagged 24

vlan 4 tagged 24

vlan 5 tagged 24

Also in Provision you cannot do routed ports, you'll have to enable routing, give the IP address to a VLAN interface and untag that VLAN on a port.

Thanks for the quick reply

so does this mean that i have to create an extra vlan for routing purposes. i am sending you the cisco config because i am still little confused.. your help would be highly appreciated

thanks

I have created some vlans in my hp switch

vlan 102

untagged 2

tagged 25-26                                \\ i want port 25 and 26 to be trunk ports

ip address 8.x.x.222/27

vlan 1

untagged 4-125,17,20

tagged 25-26

ip address 10.x.x.199/24

I have created the routed interface in HP 3500 like this

vlan 300
   name " outside int/globalIP"
   untagged 1
   ip address 8.x.x.30 255.255.255.252
   exit

is it the same as in cisco

interface FastEthernet0/1
 description outside int/globalIP
 no switchport
 ip address 8.x.x.30 255.255.255.252

It is as "same" as it could get yes.

[asadkhawaja]

so then the static route statement would be like this

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 8.x.x.29

i think i HP switch does not allow me to give VLAN no instead of ip as an exit interface
