Configuring two VLAN on a single Procurve 4104

[Jerry de Vera]

Hi there!

I'm just a newbie here trying to work things out with regards to VLAN.

How can I make two VLAN's communicate with each other on a single Procurve 4104 switch. I have the default vlan with assigned ports A1-A17 with an ip of 172.16.0.51/22. While the other VLAN has ports A18-A19 assigned to it and 192.168.0.3/24 address. How can I do this without the need for a router?

Thanks in advance. More power!

Jerry

Hello Jerry,
welcome from another neewbie.

Try the following;

vlan 1
name "DEFAULT_VLAN"
no untagged A1-A19
no ip address
exit
vlan 100
name "VLAN100"
untagged A1-A17
ip helper-address (your DHCP server here)
ip address 172.16.0.51 255.255.252.0
exit
vlan 200
name "VLAN200"
untagged A18-A19
ip helper-address (your DHCP server here)
ip address 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0
exit

Hey SH aun,

Thanks for your immediate reply. Will I have to do this on CLI?

Sorry, total newbie here, :)

Thanks a lot!

Hello again, SHaun,

I've tried what you have suggested on CLI. I am still not able to make the two VLAN communicate with each other.

Any other ideas?

thank you very much!

enter conf then ip routing

that should enable the two to talk

I am sure there are stronger people on here bar us but let's see where we go with this

[th0mas0s]

try and ensure the def vlan is left alone and create two new vlans and tag/untag as needed.

[Jerry de Vera]

Thanks SHaun,

ip routing is enabled.

def vlan was also left alone. created two vlans. Thanks a lot!

I really need this working ASAP. I need this two vlans to be sharing resources with each other, e.g., file and print, web, etc.

Thank you all in advance!

Hello Jerry,
my last throw before bed...

have you tried adding the route manually on the client ie..

route add "destination, this can be a network" n.n.n.n mask n.n.n.n "go via" n.n.n.n.

Good Luck.

Regards,
Shaun

Hey SHaun,

Hope your still awake, :)

How will I enter those on CLI. Is it like this:

route add 172.16.0.0 255.255.252.0 go via 172.16.0.51


Thanks for your efforts SHaun. Really appreciated it! :)

Hey SHaun,

I missed something. I edited the gateway configuration on the clients on both VLAN to point to the ip of the switch. and now its able to share resources.

Many thanks to your help! After I configured ip routing, I should have enter the gateway.

Thank you very much!
