ProCurve 3500 Vlan config help

[dbar]

Hi, I'm trying to add a couple of vlans, but I'm really confused what the correct process should be. Unfortunately I don't have any test equipment, so it's tough to experiment with our production network... The reason for this change is to add a VMware VSA 2 node configuration.

We have 4 switches, all stand alone with only the default vlan. 1 switch is configured with some routing rules to pass traffic to our firewall and a subnet in another building, it is used as the LAN gateway for all our devices. One of these swiches is in a seperate building connected by a fiber cable - no vlan or route used.

We need to create 2 vlans that will use different ip subnets.

Existing Vlan 1 is on 192.168.50.0. All devices are currently using this.

Vlan 2 should be 10.15.20.0. All devices should be able to access this.

Vlan 3 should be 192.168.5.0. This vlan should be private and needs no access to other vlans, but devices on this vlan needs  to be connected to 2 switches.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

conf t

vlan 2

ip addre 10.15.20.xxx/24

untagged <some ports that are nativ in that vlan>

tagged <uplinks to other switches with the same vlan>

exit

vlan 3

no ip add

untagg <some ports that are nativ in that vlan>

tagged <uplinks to other switches with the same vlan>

exit

that should be it, i think..
