Proliant BL P-Class GBE2 Telnet / HTTP Problem

The 'trunk' configurations refer to the ability to bond multiple interfaces together in a port-channel set up. We are not using that feature. The 'dis' stands for 'disabled':

>> drblade-23-ch1a - Trunk group 1# cur
Current settings: disabled
ports: 17, 18

>> drblade-23-ch1a - Trunk group 1#

what ports are connected to the 6500 then?
how are those ports on the 6500 configured.?
how are the 6500's connected?
how is the routing configured?

[drsmithh]

The ports on the 6500's are configured as access-level ports, for vlan 212 only, with no spanning tree portfast enabled. This config matches up with the access-only (no trunk) config of the HP chassis system.

>>>for vlan 212 only<<<
and what about vlan 211?

please be more clear about the total network configuration.
else it will be difficult to help.

Each HP switch system supports a single vlan, there is no trunking back to the Cisco 6500 core devices. That is why the links between the two are 'access' level, meaning 'single vlan'.

[Pieter 't Hart]

you didn't answer the question :
>>>for vlan 212 only<<<
and what about vlan 211?

I ask this because i want your confirmation you dont have the switch for vlan 211 connected to an port configured as accessport in vlan212.

If you only got a single uplink to only one of the 6500's, there is no need to run HSRP as the switch that serves vlan 211 cannot switch over to the other 6500.
(the same goes for the switch in vlan 212)

So i kindly ask you
- wich ports of the switch in vlan211 and the switch in vlan 212 are the uplink ports?
- on wat ports of the 6500 are they connected?
- what config have those ports on the 6500's (please all ports involved)?

further more i ask for the routing config of the 6500's
- what ip-config have the 6500's
- what type of routing is used? (i assume static routes?)
- how is the hsrp-config

This is all contained in the question : please specify the full network layout and config.

look at document
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/CoreRedirect.jsp?redirectReason=DocIndexPDF&prodSeriesId=445100&targetPage=http%3A%2F%2Fbizsupport2.austin.hp.com%2Fbc%2Fdocs%2Fsupport%2FSupportManual%2Fc00457828%2Fc00457828.pdf

and try to map wich figure figure-1, -2 or -3 is the closest to your situation.
Yes i know, you allready mentioned you don't use trunks.
I want to know what interconnects DO exist and if any redundant connections are present.

I allready checked in your previous posts that ports-17 and 18 are disabled (the cross links between the switches within a single enclosure).

Looks to me like FIgure 3 is most accurate. With the exception that we do not have bonded ports (like 19/20, or 21/22). Instead we have just single links out from the HP chassis to the 6500's, and no connections between the HPs.
