Re: [Hampshire] HP ProCurve switch, VLAN configuration.
Hello Again, Apologies for the delay with this, work is extremely busy with the lead up to Christmas. As yet, I am unable to ping the router (10.1.201.1), it just seems to hang, but at least it is not giving me the 'network is unreachable' message. I am, however, able to ping 10.1.201.2, the INTERNET VLAN ip, so it must be something really simple. I know the ISP router I'm using is a simple DLINK one, so I'm not sure if this could cause problems. This is my new running config: ProCurve Switch 2650# show run Running configuration: ; J4899A Configuration Editor; Created on release #H.10.50 hostname "ProCurve Switch 2650" interface 1 no lacp exit trunk 1 Trk1 Trunk ip routing snmp-server community "public" Unrestricted vlan 1 name "DEFAULT_VLAN" untagged 49-50 no ip address no untagged 2-48,Trk1 exit vlan 2 name "INTERNET" untagged 2-5,Trk1 ip address 10.1.201.2 255.255.255.0 exit vlan 3 name "RESIDENTS" untagged 6-24 ip address 10.1.202.1 255.255.255.0 tagged Trk1 exit vlan 4 name "TEST" untagged 25-48 ip address 10.1.205.1 255.255.255.0 tagged Trk1 exit ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.201.1 spanning-tree Trk1 priority 4 ProCurve Switch 2650# show ip route IP Route Entries DestinationGateway VLAN Type Sub-Type Metric Dist. -- --- - -- -- - 0.0.0.0/0 10.1.201.1 2static 1 1 10.1.201.0/24 INTERNET2connected 0 0 10.1.202.0/24 RESIDENTS 3connected 0 0 10.1.205.0/24 TEST4connected 0 0 127.0.0.0/8reject static 0 250 127.0.0.1/32 lo0 connected 0 0 Yet again, any help would be appreciated.

Point the default route at the internet router and you should be good to go. I think that is all that is missing from the config you posted. I tried that to no avail... I will have a play with it again at work tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll let you know how successful I am. Ok, post the config with the default route in there. Also, which connected to the switch, check that you can ping the internet router, and then try to ping an IP address (not host name) on the internet. If you can get from the switch to the internet, you are almost there. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk -- -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Re: [Hampshire] Linux Answers
I for one think it is quite appropriate for Mike to choose 'linux-answers' as the name for the group he is setting up considering the expected audiences. My wife who has put up with me for 35+ years, 15 or so of them with Linux in the frame, knows what 'Linux' means (she adamantly refulses to allow me to put it on her computers ;-) but considers 'Gnu' as a type of herbivore. p.s. I was going to visit the group and say something after doing that but I am waiting to be approved. -- best regards, Victor Churchill, Bournemouth -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

I've been using Linux since 1993, and working with it on a daily basis for more than ten years. The only people I have ever heard refer to the operating system as "GNU/Linux" are pedants. Nothing wrong with being a pedant, of course: I've revelled in the role for years. Part of being one is accepting that, by definition, you don't see things the way others do (or possibly you feel differently about them), or in other words you differ from the norm. The norm, in this case, is to refer to the entire collection of software, including the kernel (one component), the GNU bits (a minority of components) and all the non-GNU bits (the majority), as "Linux". Right or wrong, justified or not, that's reality. -- "You can have everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want" - Zig Ziglar.

I guess you intend the group to be for the linux based operating systems rather than the kernel only. Unfortunately the word 'Linux' has been associated with being for geeks only, which is probably true for the Linux kernel. But Linux based operating systems (such as Ubuntu etc) are on a different planet when it comes to ease of use, and mostly also for DIY installation too. The group name does not help clarification, and unless I join, I cannot see what the group intends to do - kernel - geeks - or real people using GNU/Linux operating systems.

[Hampshire] Linux Answers
I have to apologise for not being very active in the group, but I have had a very busy year after I recovered from a very nasty illness. I intend to attend some meetings next year, as I am not that far away in Port Solent. You may recall my mentioning, in previous posts, that I run an online group called PC-answers which is primarily for Windoze users. I have been helping several of the members kick the "Windows Addiction" and take the plunge into the world of Linux. As a result, I have created another group called Linux-answers. The format is somewhat different to our Lug as the membership is worldwide, members may post in HTML to include screenshots to help newbies, and attachments such as pdf files are permitted. Members can also choose how to receive posts to the group e.g. all mail, abridged mail, or weekly digests. The principal objective is to help newbies, so the content will not be as high-tech as on our group - initially anyway. Should anyone be interested, you can apply to join at http://groups.google.com/group/linux-answers Season's greetings, Mike -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
