Sending VLan to another Procurve over the fiber port

[HPNewbie2014]

Hi - I am a very very new to HP procurves. I need some guidance on how to configure the switch to send the Vlan over the fiber links. I have created the new vlan on both switches, but i am unsure on how to program the switch to send the Vlan to the next switch that is connected by fiber on fiber port 4. Does it require an HP gigabit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you

Hi

VLANs are supported on all the ports, not only Gigabit.

If you want the uplink to send the traffic only of one VLAN to the next switch, configure the following on both sides.

config

vlan X untagged Y

(where X is the VLAN numner, Y is the port number)

All ports are untagged in VLAN 1 by default. If X is not 1, the port is removed from VLAN 1

If you have defined multiple VLAN on your switches and you want the uplink to transport the traffic of all VLANs, you can add one VLAN as untagged and all other VLANs have to be tagged.

Assuming you want VLAN 2 to be untagged and VLANs  3 anf 4 to be tagged

config

vlan 2 untagged Y

vlan 3 tagged Y

vlan 4 tagged Y

For more information the Advanced Traffic Management Guide of the respective switch can be consulted, chapter Static Virtual LANs.

Here the link for the switches 3500yl, 6200yl, 6600, 5400zl, 8200zl
