ProCurve 2424M Setup Questions
The problem lays when I try to add another managed switch to the network. I have another ProCurve 2424M which I'd like to add, but everytime I plug it into the switch (the in use 2424M), it doesn't do anything. I've also tried plugging in a 3Com LinkSwitch 1000 and it does the same thing. I'm sure there are no hardware problems as Self Tests have passed and individually, I don't have an issue- I can add computers to the switch and transfer data fine.
I have both routers set to manually obtain an IP address, I've tinkered with automatic DHCP lease, resetting to default settings and more. Can someone help me get another 2424M on the network? Thanks in advance!!

Re: ProCurve 2424M Setup Questions
"it doesn't do anything" is a rather vague description, do you get no link, no ip address...?
If you even dont get a link you're using the wrong cables. The 2424 and your other 3com stuff is so ancient it doesnt support auto-MDIX - you have to use a crossover cable when connecting any of these devices with each other.
Regards,
Thomas

Re: ProCurve 2424M Setup Questions
Failing that, use an intermediate system with manual or automatic crossover (MDI/MDI-X or Auto-MDIX).
When troubleshooting switches, it's useful to start at the bottom layer and work up. If you can't get the link light green, it's not worth worrying about IP layer issues.
