We have got a three core switches:

ML1 - HP 5406zl (J8697A) firmware:K.15.14.0007

ML2 - HP 5406zl (J8697A) firmware:K.15.14.0007

ML3 - HP 5412zl (J8698A) firmware:K.15.16.0008

Recently I created 2 new VLANS (Vlan ID 200 - CISCO-WIFI-MGMT,201 - Cisco-WIFI-REDUNDANT) on all three core switches. After that Im unable to see any vlan with ID above 200 in VLAN menu -> Vlan port assignment menu on every core switch. Here is the VLAN config of core switch ML1 which is a primary gateway for all vlans (VRRP master)

Here is the screenshot of the vlan port assignment menu:

So as you can see that I can not see complete name of VLAN ID 200 (CISCO-WIFI-MGMT) and all the VLANS with higher ID than 200 which is for example VLAN 201 and 998 (CISCO-WIFI-REDUNDANT and TK_Internet) I do not know if I did some mistakes in my config or it is a firmware bug or some kind of HP limitation. At the moment I can not really perform a firmware upgrade of core switches or reboot them, can somebody suggest me what should I try to fix this issue ? I also tried to rename both new vlans and it was not helpful.

  • What makes you think this is a bug? This is pretty typical behavior. Even if it were a bug, we can't fix a vendor's bug for you, you need to contact the vendor.

  • It looks like your VLAN names are too long to be showed in the menu system. If you can't see VLANs with an ID higher than 200 at all then it's probably due to the total number of VLANS that can be shown in the menu. I'd recommend that you'd use the CLI instead to manage configurations of that size.

  • Did any answer help you? If so, you should accept the answer so that the question doesn't keep popping up forever, looking for an answer. Alternatively, you could provide and accept your own answer.

This isn't a bug. Firstly, yes, the VLAN names are too long to be shown in the Menu interface. Secondly, there's a limit on how many VLANs you can see in the menu in the first place - 32. Your VLAN 200 is the 32nd, so no new VLANs can be shown.

The Menu interface of ProCurve / ProVision switches is limited. Same applies to the Web GUI. Stuggi's right, you should get comfy with the CLI. That's the only interface with full management capabilities.
