VLAN Configuration help - Procurve 2520G

[Unrealone1]

Hi,

I have a Wireless network controller which controls Wireless APs, this has 2 wireless networks (public and private) - public needs to use router A and private router B

This is what I have been instructed to do:

PART 1:
With the help of VLANs we can segregate network which will help in routing the traffic from wireless users in a specific VLAN to their assigned ISP. Here, the Wireless Access Points and Wireless Controller are in same VLAN (VLAN 10)

Please follow the steps below to achieve the setup:

1. Connect Wireless Controller to a Access Port VLAN 10.
2. Now, connect the Wireless Access points to trunk ports with VLAN 10 Untagged and VLANs 20 and 30 as “Allowed/Tagged”
3. Here VLANs 20, 30 are for configuring SSIDs with corresponding VLANs.

The Access Points will join back to Wireless Controller and will show connected on wireless controller WebGUI

PART 2:
As there are going to be two ISPs which will have Routers(NAT device) of their own so consider the following setup which is needed in addition to the configuration done in Part 1:

1. Two ISPs: ISP A and ISP B with Routers/NAT device as Router A and Router B respectively.
2. The Router A connects to a Access Port for VLAN 20.
3. The Router B connects to Access Port for VLAN 30.

Note: I assume that the Routers have Inbuilt DHCP server.

I hope this helps.

--------------------

This what I have done so far:

I have created 3 Vlans on my HP Procuvre. Heres how the rest is setup:
VLAN 10 (Root) ports 10-12 on procurve (Untagged) (ZD on 192.168.3.240 and 1x AP plugged into ports 10 and 11)
VLAN 20 (Staff) ports 13-18 on procurve (Untagged) (Router A DHCP 192.168.3.x enabled plugged into port 13)
VLAN 30 (Public) ports 19-24 on procurve (Untagged) (Router B DHCP 192.168.20.x enabled plugged into port 19)

Hi Unrealone1,

The mention of trunk ports in this context is using the Cisco/Comware terminology - it means that the port has tagged VLANs on it.

Assuming that ports 10-12 where your wireless APs plug in, what you need to do is something like this:

vlan 10
name root
untagged 10-12
vlan 20
name staff
tagged 10-12
untagged 13
vlan 30
name public
tagged 10-12
untagged 18

Note that this is only the part of the config for ports 10-13,18 - there may be other ports included.

Note that you have overlapping IP addressing in VLANs 10 and 20. This is probably not desirable. My recommendation is to make your IP addressing and VLAN numbering match to make it easier to troubleshoot. i.e. VLAN 10 = 192.168.10.0/24, VLAN 20 = 192.168.20.0/24, VLAN 30 = 192.168.30.0/24, etc.

Hope that makes sense - good luck!
