how to make a connection between two HP 2510G-24 switches??

[Iraqat]

I have currently two HP 2510G-24 switches. I am finding it difficult to connect them together with more than 1 cable. Can anyone help me? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Initially you have to create a Multi-port Trunk. This will be same as Cisco Port-Channel. After that, connect your laptop to the console cable because there is a possibility that it can cut your remote access. After that go to menu and select Switch Configuration and then click on PORT or Trunk Settings.

[Captain Samuel Salt]

After binding your two ports together via cable do the following process:

• Use Edit option - Use arrows to get down to the row of interface 23
• When you will find the Group Field press spacebar, it will show the value Trk1
• Do the same process for interface 24 and you will have both ports in Trk1. After that, save it
• You should repeat this for your other switch. They will gradually now be uplinked through a Multi-port trunk

I just configured this on two 2510G-48 switches.

On the assumption that the only differences between the two switches is the number of ports try the following.

Workout the IP address of the switch (check DHCP register, use IP monitoring tool etc) Use the web interface to set it as a static IP address # Configurations TAB, IP configurations

Connect to the switch via Telnet (Google putty and download the first prog you come across)

Connection Type- Telnet
Port- 23
IP address of switch- ???

Once connected you should have access unless someone has configured a password (recommended) but by default there should be no password.

You want the Telnet screen to look like this- (Press enter several times)
2510G-24#

If it looks like this- 2510G-24> //type enable

At this screen 2510G-24#
Configure
Type the line above

ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#

Work out what ports you want to trunk example ports 21-24


ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#trunk 24 Trk1
ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#trunk 23 Trk1
ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#trunk 22 Trk1
ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#trunk 21 Trk1

This cmd will list the trunked ports
ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#show trunk

NOTE- The ports do not have to be in any particular order you could trunk port 1, 5, 8, 20 if you wanted too (not recommending this)
You can also have multiple trunks EG-
ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#trunk 20 Trk2
ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#trunk 19 Trk2

One more command-

ProCurve Switch 2510G-48(config)#write memory

This will save the changes to the non-volatile flash memory (connectivity will not be lost)

Hint it uses the same interface as a CISCO router-

Please tell us how you go
