HP ProCurve 2626 (J4900B) 24x10/100 Mbps Networking Switch Logo

Procurve 2626 installation

I am attempting to set up a network: Windows Server 2003 (Dell PowerEdge sc1425) and 40 pc's all connected via 3 ProCurve 2626 Switches, however they are all second hand and have NO manuals or instructions or cables, how do I configure the Switches? the Server is up and running, the PC's are ok, how do I get them to communicate. I have downloaded the PCM software but it is asking for the ip address of the switch, which I do not know (how do I find it?).

Thanks for the help :)

You'll need to obtain a comms lead - connects into the console port of the switch then into an RS232 port on your laptop. Then, you will be able to connect using hyper terminal and you can give the switch an IP address, username, etc. Even a hard-reset won't allow you to configure an IP address as by default it needs to be configured through the lead. Will they not talk without being configured? If you just hard reset them, they should just behave as unmanaged switches.

What do you need it configured to support? Multiple subnets? VoIP support?
Here's an example to support 2 subnets, VLAN 1 Data and VLAN 2 Voice. This switch is the VLAN router for the site and it is also the default gateway for all the devices on the network.

I need the default password for ProCurve J4900B

There isn't one. If someone has added a password to the switch you can connect to it and at the prompt to enter the password, press the Clear button.

Trying to Configure HP ProCurve 2524 24x10/100 Mbps Networking Switch as DHCP and creating a VLAN and connecting Linksys access points to that VLAN

This switch will not function as a DHCP server itself. You will need to have a DHCP server on the VLAN with the access points to give out IP's to the wireless users.

3 vlans, data,1; data 2,;voip,5. Ports carry voice tagged, and data. currently Windows 2000 DHCP server lives on Vlan 1 (AND WORKS). Need to upgrade. When we test the new servers we are unable to make both...

Here's what you need to do:

First, be sure to assign an ip address(in the proper subnet) to each VLAN.

Second, use the ip helper-address command in the context of each VLAN, the address used should be the address of the DHCP server

Third, Add a scope for each additional VLAN on the DHCP server.

The switch will route the DHCP request to the proper server based on the ip helper-address command parameter and based on the ip address of the VLAN that is passed tot he server, a DHCP address in the proper subnet is automatically configured.

Here is a sample:

ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR# configure
ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR(config)# vlan 33
ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR (vlan-33)#ip address 192.168.33.254/24
ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR (vlan-33)# ip helper-address 10.1.2.250

Can see switches but not the personal computers

The only thing you can see is the arp table in the switch. That will give you the computers Mac-Address.
