I had a quick question regarding using a switchport on an HP switch as a L3 Routing port. I know on Cisco it is a simple as the no switchport command and add an IP address/Routing Protocol. I have been tasked with removing an MSR 20-20 router and my boss wants to use the L3 switch to handle all routing. I will need to add a connection of 10.10.10.15 to the switch for Metro Ethernet and 172.16.0.254 to go to the firewall for the internet. On the HP switch how would I go about this since the no switchport command sadly isn't available? I assume I would actually have to create Vlans for this? Thanks.
Thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking. Just use a stand alone Vlan on that one port and assign an IP. And believe me, this isn't my choice. I would prefer to replace the MSR 20-20 with a beefier router, but for some reason my boss wants me to consolidate all links to the L3 switch and use the router at a new branch location. I came from a primarily Cisco background where it was as simple as typing no switchport but apparently HP deprecated that feature.
