Hi,<br />
<br />
Thanks, ok I'll do this.<br />
<br />
Apart from configuring a trunk port on both switches. Do you actually have to setup the VLANs on both switches too? or just the one.

Both switches need to have the VLAN configured on them, either manually or via GVRP on one switch.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have 2x HP Procurve 2530G switches which I am going to configure with 3 VLANS. The switches are in seperate buildings, so they are connected by 1 cat5e cable.<br />
<br />
<br />
VLAN 10 - Trunk Ports for wireless access points (Untagged 3-9)<br />
VLAN 20 - Staff (Ports 10-16) (Tagged to 3-9)<br />
VLAN 30 - Students (Ports 17-22) (Tagged to 3-9)<br />
<br />
I am using the GUI interface.<br />
<br />
<br />
What option do I use to link the 2 switches together, so the Vlans are spread across both switches?

HP Procurve 2530G Switch question

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.
