We are replacing our hp procurve 4000m switches for some new technology. What would you recommend for a modern day version of these 4000Ms? They lasted 10+ years.
Can we address specific IPS from our hp pro curve 4000m or only by port numbers? If only by port can we set a VLAN for a specific machine to always be in it and apply priority rules to the VLAN?
What is the proper way to connect two HP 4000M pro curve switches together? Is there a specific uplink port? Can we connect the switch to the other using two ports for redundancy? (We tried this and it takes the network down!)
We have a network with Windows Servers, Windows Clients, Mac servers and Mac Clients. We have HP Pro Curve’s 4000M and a ProCurve 6108 as our switches. Should we setup VLANs? Can it be beneficial?
Hi, I’m thinking of purchasing the above model of intelligent switch(partly on monetary factors) for our network and I would appreciate any advice. I understand different Switches have different attributes such as layer 2 and layer 3 swicthing/routing . Also some work symmetrically/asymetrically (ports connect at different connection speeds or not?). Any further advice would [...]
I need to configure a new switch with a different IP range (172.16.32.x) to access the current server (172.16.0.x)
can you please provide me a comparison between HP Procurve switches and Cisco Switches in these points : ports,VLANs,link aggregation ,spanning tree,PoE,VoIP,DHCP,routing using OSPF
Hello, I have 2 switches – one in building X and the other in building Y. The buildings are connected via fiber and eigrp is the protocol that’s setup between them. The buildings are p2p connections between 7200′s. I need the Vlans to be propagated from switch “y” to switch “x” over the L3 connection. [...]
hi all… i have a cisco catalyst 6509 as distribution SW and hp procurve 2910 al as access layer, we are going to configure voip in our lan with avaya phones… Do i have to configure my catalyst to trust the traffic that comes from the procurve (that already trusts ip phones) so voice has [...]
Loking for a webmanaged switch. Nothing fancy but want to be able to add a few VLANs etc. Was ooking at the Procurve 1700/18000. Does anyone reommend HP over Cisco or any other vendor i should be looking at.
Can an HP ProCurve switch be configured to work with a Cisco switch? Say a for example 3750 or 6506. By work I mean, be able to use VLANs create on Cisco side to work on HP side. Also, for a Cisco trunk to work with on an HP switch.
Hi, I was hoping someone could help me out with my HP ProCurve 4208vl switch. It’s in a mostly default configuration: switch (default vlan) ip: 10.1.1.95 default gateway: 10.0.0.1 / 255.0.0.0. I would like to create a second VLAN for a Public Access WiFi. I have a DHCP server running on one of the ports [...]
Hi all, Trying to route a new ISP(Microwave link) from one of my out building to my computer room and hence my firewall. Old ISP came direct into firewall. In the outbuilding the Microwave modem connects with cat5 to HP Procurve 2524 switch. Because this ISP is coming through my internal network, I plan on [...]

hp procurve switch ports go offline frequently and comes back online after some time.what may be the problem?I am using three types of switches in the network.Among that only 2848 series is having the issue.
I have 2 ProCurve switches (2848 & 4104) that I’m running 2 VLAN’s on. I’m trying to connect the two via a 5 port trunk. Can I setup this trunk to share the 2 VLANs, or must I define 2 trunks? If I can do it with a single trunk, how is that done? I’ve [...]
