Hi everyone,
I would like to create trunks on my hp procurve 1810 24g. The way I think to do that is to select 'Trunk configuration' select 'Create trunk' and type Trunk1. Than I select ports 20.21.22.23.24 as memebers of Trunk1. When I do this with 2 switches it works perfect and I notice that the network goes faster. But when I create Trunk2 on switch 2 to my 3th switch it doesn't work anymore. I want to create trunks on 5 switches but I get stuck. I am not a networker and hope to find some answers here. Is there someone who can explaine me step by step on how to do this?
Thanks
 
if you are use to Cisco then doing things in Hp seems stupid, trk in Hp is actually fast ethernet, if you want to do a cisco trunk you need to create a vlan,
 
Hi,
I don't want to create trunks in cisco. I want to create trunks in hp. Can you explaine me how to do that on 5 hp procurve 1810 24g switches by always using the last ports of the switch?
Thanks
 
Do you want a trunk as in a link that carries VLANs or a trunk as in multiple links in a port channel between switches or a combination of both?
 
Hello,

I hope you are something with this?
I have one (192.168.11.51) that has 48 ports. I select port 45,46,47 and 48 as trunk 1 (Untagged).
192.168.11.96 (24 ports): I select ports 21,22,23 and 24 as trunk 1 (untagged).
192.168.11.97 (24 ports): ports 21,22,23 and 24 as trunk 1 (untagged).
192.168.11.98 (24 ports): ports 21,22,23 and 24 as trunk 1 (untagged).
192.168.11.99 (24 ports): ports 21,22,23 and 24 as trunk 1 (untagged).
192.168.11.100 (24 ports): ports 21,22,23 and 24 as trunk 1 (untagged).

It worked fine with two switches but it wend wrong if I tried to connect the other.

Thanks
 
Hi /usr/home,

The meaning is that I use it fot both. Ad this moment I have only one network 192.168.14.0. In the near future I will add more. The most important is for now that the network will go faster.

Thanks
 
Strange question, you are wanting 4 ports to each switch?

Why not connect all the switches to the 48 port switch and use it a master.
 
This doesn't sound too bad. From looking over the HP Switch User Guide, it sounds like you want Trunks (Cisco calls it EtherChannel) and VLANs (I will be calling it Tagged/Untagged, not Trunk/Access).

It would appear you can probably only do a 2GB trunk, no 4GB. So on 11.51, configure port 47/48 as Trunk 1. On 11.96, configure 21/22 as Trunk 1 and wire it to 47/48 on 11.51. Then on 11.96 configure 23/24 as Trunk 1. One 11.97, configure 21/22 as Trunk 1 and wire it to 23/24 on 11.96. Them on 11.97 configure 23/24 as Trunk 1. Keep going back and forth until all 5 switches are connected. Don't loop around from 11.100 to 11.51.

According to the User Guide, the Trunk ports lose all VLAN memberships. But you apply your Tagged VLANs to your Trunks, instead of to the ports. So include all your VLANs on the Trunks and then Tag or Untag on your non-trunk ports.

If you want the 4GB Trunk, then you're going to have to use more ports on your 48-port switch and make it your Core Switch. Configure Ports 28-48 as Trunk 1, then connect it to the 4 ports of each other switches Trunk 1.
 
LACP = Trunking

Is that what you're trying to do? As in using multiple interfaces to act as a single interface?

Meh. I've used much worse.

1810 is a web managed switch there is no real CLI.

You want CLI then go to 2k+ series. I think their CLI is great.

The only thing you need to remember is HP Trunking is really Ether Channel / LACP
Where CISCO Trunking means VLAN passthrough.

I got about 10 2510G and couple 2910AL and they are fantastic. Hell HP upgraded me for free when a 24 port HP 2510G died and they sent me a 48 port instead the next day.
