Hey all,
So in short we have a brand new stack of 4 HP 5130 El switches that are meant to replace our cisco swithces, and connect to a pair of high availabitlty firewalls. On the switches we have a couple of vlan's configured to distinguish traffic between servers, users, guest, etc.
The problem here lies in vlan 1, which carries our server traffic. I know it isn't best practice to use vlan 1 this way, but I did not set it up, and co workers are unwilling to change unless absolutely necessary. With our cisco switches we are able to use vlan 1 for this purpose, however when we did testing the HP switches would not pass traffic at all on vlan 1. I'm talking no layer 2 was observered at all, not even devices both configured in vlan 1 could talk to each other.
So I am hoping you all can give me some insight into how vlan 1 opertates inside comware devices, and hopefully get this operational. It is also probably worth mentioning that the trunks have the pvid set to vlan 1 because I assumed it was the equivalent of a native vlan.
Appreciate and adive or help!
