Setup Management IPs on HP Procurve Switches
Have 3 models of HP switches deployed on the network - 2510, 2910 and 3800 - and want to setup a "management VLAN" on all of them that I can use to access the switches for configuration and use as the source IP for reporting information (i.e. SNMP and SFLOW).
I don't want to do anything that could be become overcomplicated and I have read that you can run into issues if you use the official procurve management setup. All I need is to be able to place an IP address on the switch that can be accessed from machines on the other vlans on the network and use that IP address as the address for reporting.
What is the best way to do this?

We have about 7 different VLANs with vlan 50 "designated" as our management VLAN. Would like to put an ip for that VLAN on each switch - ex. 10.10.50.10 on the 3800 and then maybe 10.10.50.15 on the 2510.
How can I do this and be able to route to those IPs from the other VLANs?

What is doing the routing between VLANs now? One of the layer3 switches, or a separate router?

We have the 3800 handling layer 3.

As you say youself you should not use management-vlan statement if you want routing to take place, but otherwise good info is in:
