Hi,<br />
I have a Procurve 5412zl switch on which I enabled routing. It is my central switch. I want to set it as the gateway for all the Vlans. A sonicwall connected to the main switch provides internet access for the network. <br />
<br />
I have 2 problems:<br />
<br />
1- I want the DHCP requests for all Vlan (except VLAN 10) to be redirected to the Sonicwall. I plan to use ip helper-address. Hope it's gonna work. Do you have advice about this?<br />
<br />
2- I want the users to be able to access the internet (from all Vlans). I don't know how the configure the link between the switch and the sonicwall. I tried a configuration with &quot;no switchport&quot; in Packet Tracer and it was successful. But this command doesn't exist for HP ProCurve...<br />

Hi,
I have a Procurve 5412zl switch on which I enabled routing. It is my central switch. I want to set it as the gateway for all the Vlans. A sonicwall connected to the main switch provides internet access for the network. 

I have 2 problems:

1- I want the DHCP requests for all Vlan (except VLAN 10) to be redirected to the Sonicwall. I plan to use ip helper-address. Hope it's gonna work. Do you have advice about this?

2- I want the users to be able to access the internet (from all Vlans). I don't know how the configure the link between the switch and the sonicwall. I tried a configuration with "no switchport" in Packet Tracer and it was successful. But this command doesn't exist for HP ProCurve...

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
