HP ProCurve - GRVP & device to go on specific VLAN

[CHiLL]

Last year we had a contractor install a new wired network, including HP ProCurve switches. During that configuration, GRVP has been enabled on the switch ports

 

I have a NAS device and I am trying to configure its two NICs to work on a specific VLAN.

I have configured NIC1 as DHCP so I can connect to it, and trying to configure NIC2 onto VLAN11.

 

NIC1 - DHCP - 10.22.100.126

NIC2 - Static - 10.22.11.111

 

When I use the command:

vlan 11 untagged 5,6

 

I get the following message:

Dynamic VLANs cannot be configured manually.

 

When I run this command:

sh vlans

It shows me all these VLANs:

 Maximum VLANs to support : 256
 Primary VLAN : LEGACY
 Management VLAN :

With the static 10.22.11.111 IP address, I cannot ping it.

 

Can anybody advise how I can get this working?

Can you set your nas box to add a VLAN tag?

[CHiLL]

It does allow me to enter the VLAN ID on the interface setting page, however when I enter 11 into the setting, the interface status changes from a solid green online icon to a yellow flashing offline icon.

 

It's in page 20 of the manual, but I can't link it at the moment as I'm on my phone and it won't copy the PDF hyperlink.

"static-vlan 11" to convert it into a static vlan.

 

I would look to get shot of gvrp as it can do some nasty stuff.

That's sound advice - GVRP is a nice concept, but in practice I find it a massive PITA.

Plus, I think you'll need GVRP aware NICs to properly take advantage of it - which is probably why your NAS is not behaving.

Hmm, OK. Will that have a knock on effect with other systems/services if I perform this command?

We had a contractor last summer implement our new HP ProCurve based network, and they're the ones who implemented the GVRP. I am not confident enough to know how to disable GVRP or know what effects disabling it may have across the network.

[twin--turbo]

to disable..

 

1) 1st list the vlans on the switch, then use "static-vlan x" to convert it to static.

2) ensure each inter switch link has each needed vlan tagged rather than AUTO (except the default vlan)

3) issue "no gvrp"
