HP ProCurve Switch Dropping FTP (Active) and IPSec traffic

[fawkers]

Hello Everyone,

 

I've set up a ProCurve 1810 to sit inbertween my internet connection any my internal networks gateway. I've assigned ports 1 - 4 to be part of a VLAN and attached our internet router and our gateway to two of these ports. This is in preperation for a new gateway that is going in.

 

However when in this configuration Active FTP (not pasive) and IPSec traffic seams to get blocked\dropped. Plug the internet straight back into our gateway and all returns to normal.

 

anyone ever seen this before?

have you patched the firm ware on these the is a known issue on all but the latest firmware, they stop responding on the HTTP interface and hang, I found info on the procurve forums and the firmware is on the mini site HP Networking: switches, routers, wired, wireless, HP TippingPoint Security think version 1.7 is the latest!

What devices are we talking about here? and what are you trying to acheive?

 

Your ISP's Router and your Schools Gateway Appliance? or the LEA managed switch and a router?

 

If they are configured as a transparent bridge the Switches MAC will mess things up or if the switch is a Gigabit Switch try locking the port speeds down.

Which device holds your Public IP address?

We have 2 new gateway devices which act in a cluster, so both need to be connected to our internet gateway Cisco (direct connection to BT, no LA filtering etc). I need to test and conf. these devices before we go live with them so the swich has to split the incomming connection 3 ways, 1 to the existing gateway and 2 to the new gateways. We have a /28 for our public IP's so each device is on a different public IP.

 

The Switch in question is a HP ProCurve 1810G-24 J9450A using the most upto date firmware which i beleave is 2.2

 

oh yes and speeds have been locked down on the ports to 100Full
