HP 2620 Inter-VLAN Communication
Hi all. I am having an issue with a set of HP switches, involving two vlans not being able to communicate. I'm guessing there is some issue with port tagging because these vlans are all on the same subnet. Another idea is that I should be able to assign an IP to vlan 10, and then 'ip routing' should handle the routing between vlans automatically, but again the problem with that is that the vlans are on the same subnet so I can't assign another 10.1.0.0/16 address on that other vlan.
The whole point of my setup is that I have two different DHCP servers which need to service the devices on vlan 1 or vlan 10, and I need those broadcast domains isolated. However, the vlans should still be able to talk to each other. The ports that I have untagged in vlan 10 are ones that the phone system (which provides DHCP to vlan 10) are connected.
This is the config for the switch that has the phone system plugged in:
This is the config for other switches:
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why is it not possible to set up different networks.
Why cannot the one be changed and why not the other??

We re-numbered the other "voice" vlan and added the necessary routing and all is good.
Unfortunately, there is no way to make it work. In your case, two VLANs with same subnet can't communicate between themselves as routing is not possible. Bridging is also not an option because your need to separate broadcast domains because of DHCP.
One other thing which renders this situation unpossible is that two different devices each in one VLAN can get same IP address from their respective DHCP server, so switch will be very confused.
Picture situation you and me having same cell number, and you are trying to call me using your own cell phone number. There is no way it can work.
Hope you get my point!
