Procurve 1800 for a newbie
I want to setup an home network using 3 Procurve 1800-8G. I want to connect this device to obtain the maximum bandwitch possible. I must connect to the switch some computer printer and one firewall.
As I don't know this switch, can anyone help me to let me know what I must do to interconnect the 3 devices with trunk?
Thank You
RM

Re: Procurve 1800 for a newbie
Trunking is very simple on the ProCurves.
It must be done BEFORE you attach multiple ethernet cables between your switches, or you'll be up with loops in your network.
And the commands must be performed on both sides of the trunk.
On the first switch use the "trunk" command to trunk together 2 or more (upto 8) ports on that switch into a single logical trunk port and give the trunk a name (in the format trkX - where X is a number). The ports do not need to be next to each other, eg:
(config)# trunk 1,2,4,8 trk1
This trunks ports 1,2,4 and 8 into "trk1"
Then on the next switch do the same thing. Although the port numbers and trunk name do not need to be the same as the first switch. Eg:
(config)# trunk 2,3,4,5 trk1
That's it! Attach cables between the ports you have trunked and you're done.
The 1800-8G supports upto 4 trunks, so you'll need 1 trunk on your two "outer switches" to join to the "inner switch". And 2 trunks on the inner switch.
Hope that helps,
Matt

Re: Procurve 1800 for a newbie
It sounds like you're getting confused with the Cisco interpretation of what a "trunk port" is.
In ProCurve's a "trunk" is a collection of ports that are aggregated together to make a single logical port (for greater through-put).
If you want to pass multiple VLANs through a single cable you need to "tag" the ports with the VLAN ID. Ports on the ProCurves can carry as many Tagged VLANs as you like (but only 1 Untagged VLAN).

Re: Procurve 1800 for a newbie
I discussed my requirements with a Cisco Certified colleague, so that does explain my confusion.
What I would like to achieve is as follows:
- downstairs switch:
* ADSL modem/router on VLAN2
* Wireless AP (for LAN access) on VLAN1
upstairs switch:
* ISA Server Outside NIC on VLAN2
* ISA Server Inside NIC on VLAN1
* Domain Server on VLAN1
* PC Workstations on VLAN1
* Network printer on VLAN1
The wireless accespoint downstairs should be isolated from VLAN2 but be able to reach VLAN1 on the switch upstairs.
I thought a "trunk" would make both switches behave as one large switch.

Re: Procurve 1800 for a newbie
On ProCurves you just need to Tag VLANs 1 and 2 on the two ports at each end.

Re: Procurve 1800 for a newbie
I was able to configure the switches as you described. I included a configuration diagram (as JPEG). If you have any comments, please let me know. By the way, would you advise flow control on all ports?
Also, is Jumbo frames worth using?
Thanks again,
Jari
