Cisco vs HP
I have read a lot about the debate between Cisco and HP switches. In what use cases does going with the HP product make a lot of sense and how much of Cisco’s installed base is realistically at risk? What are the primary factors that sway decision makers one way or the other?

Uplinking one 4000m Hp Procurve to another
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!)

Configuring Cisco and HP Switches
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.

I need to add IP addresses
I use a pair of HP Procurve 2824 and a pair of 2650 switches and I think I want them to pass all data through without filtering. I also need to make my Windows 2000 Server share a wider range of IP addresses, since I’ve depleted my entire supply. The Server is currently via DHCP [...]
