Hello,

To easily configure HP switches Vlans, you can try free open source LGPL software HP Vlan Simple Administration at https://sourceforge.net/projects/procurve-admin/files/

It's aimed to manage vlans of all your switches at the same time.

Glad to be of help

Keeping everything on vlan 1 will be fine, and it will allow any of the hosts to have Internet access. The general rule is to firewall as close to the untrusted network as possible, as this reduces the possible vulnerability.

Regards,

Reg

Thanks Blankreg,

That worked a treat
If I move the firewall beside the modem, then their would be no need to for vlan 2, I could continue to use the default vlan for my internal network, right?

This is how my config looks now;

on the 2524

vlan 2
name “Airspeed”
untagged 24
tagged 25-26
no ip address
exit

On the 4108GL

vlan 2
name “Airspeed”
untagged D1
no ip address
tagged A1-A3
exit
