Procurve 3500 backup route

[HerBiVoRe]

Hi every one ! I'm new on the HP Procurve, and i've to configure one 3500 (with licence) The switch is my gateway. What i'm trying to do is to configure two routes. One for my primary connexion, one for the backup. I'd like my switch can "switch" automatycally from one route to the other, if my primary connexion is down. I can't find the command or the parametre to do it. Is it via the OSPF or somewhere else ? Sorry for my english, Have a nice day,

Hi,

No problem about your english...  probably my english level is worse  :)

I'm take 2 years working with HP Procurve, essentially with 5406zl, and the problem that you raise in my work it was solved by the VRRP Protocol an doing a LACP trunk between both switches.

For example, this is my conf:

Switch (1) LEAD

vlan 176
   name "Vlan Servers"
   untagged A1-A7,A12-A13,A18-A22,A24,D6,D8,D14-D15,D19-D20,Trk9
   ip address 10.128.176.8 255.255.255.0
   tagged B16,Trk1-Trk5
   exit

vlan 180
   name "PCs"
   untagged B1-B24,C1-C12,D1,D3-D5,D7,D12-D13,D17
   ip address 10.128.180.8 255.255.252.0
   tagged A18,D15,Trk1-Trk5

   unknown-vlans Block
exit

      priority 255
      enable
      exit
   exit

   vrrp vrid 180
      owner
      virtual-ip-address 10.128.180.8 255.255.252.0

      enable
      exit
   exit

I don't know if your model (Hp Procurve 3500) support this configuration (VRRP).

Anyway check this document about VRRP's Configuration on HP Procurve Switches

Above all... GOOD LUCK!!
