Configuring HP 1810 Switch

TechMinerUK · 14 Oct 2016 at 08:42

Hi everyone, recently I've been having a dabble in networking and I've got myself a new HP 1810G switch however I have no idea how to configure it. I'm trying to create two VLANS for a public and private network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this

Do you want basic physical VLANs or 802.1q (VLAN tags)...

Bit more info and we can help you better..

Apologies as it's all rather new but I'm looking to implement a system to segregate the guest network and restrict the bandwidth that it uses. Anyway that can achieve this in the best way possible is what I'm looking for

You'll need a layer 3 device to do that (e.g. a router with such facilities), unless you want ti simply force a port to 10mbit on the switch.

Sell or return it, buy an Ubiquiti or Mikrotik router if you want a learning tool. There's very little you can do on an HP 1810 except watch it fall over if you push it too hard.

This would probably work

I already have a Ubiquity router so this is just for added ports which can also be managed

You need to configure two VLANs on your router, then trunk them to one port. What devices are you having on your switch?

Just servers and access points

Make switch ports members of VLANs
Create VLAN trunk port back to your router
Create VLAN interfaces on the router, assign to VLAN tags
Configure your subnetting
Configure your firewall
Configure your QoS/queues to suit

It's not entry level stuff..
