Hello there,
Recently I bought a HP procurve 1810-8G to go with my HP procurve 1810-24G.
The idea is simple the 1810-8G is on the ground level next to my router. and the 1810-24G is in the basement next to the servers.
I have 2 CAT6A cables connecting the switches.
First I tried it without changing any setting (you never know)
This created a loop and overloaded the entire network
so no luck on the easy approach, then I decided to trunk them.
I set up a trunk on both 1810's, and assigned the right ports.
But for some reason even though the ports where showing up as connected I could not get the trunk activated.
I had it set up as a dynamic trunk type, but since then I think I tried every single trunk combo.
I know that harforum recommends the 1810 series so I though id just ask here and see If someone could help me on this.
All questions are welcome.
I'm sure there you need a lot more info then what I just gave you, so just ask and I'll let you know.
PS:
There is no such thing as a obvious/ stupid question.
If you want to be sure I didn’t to something noobish just ask.
