SNMPv3 Configuration for ProCurve Switches

http://evilrouters.net/2008/12/22/snmpv3-configuration-for-procurve-5400s/

Update Firmware via SFTP/SCP

Configure the switch to allow file transfer via SSH:

ip ssh
ip ssh filetransfer


Then conenct via SFTP to the switch and upload the firmware:

scp /path/to/image user@switch.fqdn.com:/os/primary

Then simply reboot the switch:

boot system flash primary

How to configure VLANs in HP Procurve

Here are the command to configure VLANs in HP Procurve

Its pretty easy to create vlan in HP procure Switches Follow the following steps

Cofig t

vlan 10

name "VLAN10"

untagged 1-12

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

tagged 25-26

exit

vlan 11

name "VLAN11"

192.168.11.1 255.255.255.0

untagged 13-24

tagged 25-26

exit

ip routing

tagged 25-26 is equivalent to trunking for Cisco Switches

untagged command make the required ports to be the part of vlan you want.

From the above example ports 1 - 12 are part of vlan 10 & port from 13-24 part of vlan 11 and ports 25 & 26 are trunk ports can carry vlan information for vlan 10 & 11 make sure you configure ip routing to en bale intervlan routing

DHCP Snooping on HP Procurve

The documentation for HP’s DCHP-snooping is limited, but there is a rather good description to be found in the firmware documentation (beginning from page 80).

There are several ways in which DHCP-snooping can work, in this example I’ll use a simple, port-based configuration.

SomeCoolSwitch# config

SomeCoolSwitch(config)# dhcp-snooping

SomeCoolSwitch(config)# dhcp-snooping vlan 1

SomeCoolSwitch(config)# interface 26

SomeCoolSwitch(eth-49)# dhcp-snooping trust

SomeCoolSwitch(eth-49)# exit

SomeCoolSwitch(config)# write mem

The command “dhcp-snooping” will globally enable DHCP-snooping. You will have to enable DHCP-snooping on certain VLANs to make it work. When enabled on a VLAN, all ports of the switch will be (by default) untrusted, in this example I set “interface 26″ to be the trusted switchport. When implementing into a larger network, uplink ports or trunks will have to be trusted.
