So i have a customer who purchased 5 HP 1910 switches (4 24port and 1 8port switch). They currently have a flat network using 192.168.80.x/24 subnet. They are adding voice and wanto to segregate their network using vlans. It's been a while since i've configured HP switches (these are web based GUI's) and i wanted to confirm my config appears correct.
Managment: Vlan1 - 10.10.1.X/28
Data: Vlan10 - 192.168.80.X/24
Voice: Vlan20 - 172.16.80.X
Cisco Router (running BGP) > Core switch > 4 distribution switches > LAN
Using 1 of the 24port 1910's as a Layer 3 Core switch i've configured it the folowing way:
- IP: 10.10.1.2
- Port 28: SFP Trunk port to the 8port HP 1910 switch connected via Fiber
- Port 24: Trunk port to the Cisco Router (should this be a trunk or "Hybrid" port?)
- Port 23: Trunk port connected to the 2nd 24port HP1910 switch
- Port 22: Trunk port connected to the 3rd 24port HP1910 switch
- Port 21: Trunk port connected to the 4th 24port HP1910 switch
- Configured Vlan10 with IP 192.168.80.X with IP helper going to a remote site DHCP server
- Configured Vlan20 with IP 172.168.80.X with IP helper going to a remote site DHCP server
For the Distribution switches they configured as follows:
- 2nd: IP 10.10.1.3
- 3rd: IP 10.10.1.4
- 4th: IP 10.10.1.5
- 5th (remote): IP 10.10.1.6
Switches 2-4 are configured identically:
- Ports 1-23 are untagged in Vlan1 and 10, tagged in Vlan20 with PVID 1
- Port 24 is the uplink port to the core switch configured as a trunk
- I've configured the Vlan's on the switch as well but did not assign them IP's (i set to to "DHCP") assuming they would get their IP's from the DHCP server
Switch 5:
- Port 1-8 are untagged in Vlan1 and 10, tagged in Vlan20 with PVID 1
- Port 9 is the uplink port to the core switch configured as a trunk with a fiber SFP
My question really is will it work the way i think it should? IE if i plug a PC in any of the distribution switches it should grab a Vlan10 IP, likewise if i plug a phone into a port it should grab a Vlan20 IP?
As it stands i can ping the distribution switches from the core and vice versa. I didn't have any way of testing the Vlan's. I'm a little confused as when to use a Trunk port and when to use a Hybrid port as HP's terminology differs from Cisco's.
