I need some help with vlans. I understand the concept, however I am having a hard time tring to figure out how to implement it on our switches at work. I have 4 offices all connected via fiber to our core switch. On each switch I want to create 3 vlans, lets say accounting (vlan1) , IT (vlan2), IP phones (vlan3). Each vlan is acording to its IP subnet. 10.10.1.0/24 -> acounting, 10.10.2.0/24 -> IT, 10.10.3.0/24 -> IP phones. Oh and these are routed using a linux box with static routes. My question is that on our switches Do I have to specify an ip address of each vlan, meaning would I have to give vlan 1 and IP address of 10.10.1.x/24 on the switch. My second question is since each switch has an uplink, to another switch and each switch contains all 3 vlans must the uplink port be a member of all 3 vlans? Another question is if all 4 switches are a member of the same stack will the vlan IDs carry over to the other switches? We do not want to do any modifications on the workstations, so I do not thing the vlans need to be tagged.
In case it matters, I am using an HP procurve 4108gl at our main office uplinking an HP procurve 4160gl, a HP procurve 2650, and an HP 2824.
