The HP ProCurve 1810G-8 (J9449A) is a nice little 8 port managed switch. No fans and similar in size to a FireBrick.
 
==Overview:==
The FireBrick will have a single WAN port, which will plug in to the HP Switch. The ADSL/FTTC modems will plug in to the HP Switch too.
This will then, with VLANs, enable the FireBrick to use up to 7 ADSL/FTTC modems.
*Default Password is blank
 
==Save Config:==
To make things a little easier, here is a saved config: [[File:FBVLANconfig1810G.bin.zip]]. It is the default config (default IP and password), but with VLANs as follows:
*Port 1 - VLAN 101, for ADSL line 1
However it only takes a few minutes to set up the VLANs manually as follows:
 
==Basic Settings:==
*Set your computer to an IP in the same subnet as the switch, ege.g. 192.168.2.11
*Plug computer in to a port, ege.g. port 7
*Log in to http://192.168.2.10 with a blank password
*Maybe set the system description details
*Enable HTTPS (Security - Secure Connection) generate certificate and apply
 
==Create VLANs:==
We will set ports 1-4 to be VLANs 101, 102, 103, 104. We'll use port 8 for plugging in to the FireBrick, and use port 7 for our admin.

==Configure ports for VLAN tagging:==
*Under VLANs - Participation Tagging:
**set VLAN 101 to be U on port 1 and T on port 8. E on rest
*SAVE CONFIG - otherwise you will learn the hard way
 
==IP Address:==
In order to access the Switch, we'll need to setup aan interface on the FireBrick with a subnet in the same range as the switch. We can use the default 192.168.2.0/24, and this will be accessible from the LAN side.
Alternately, we can use a public /30. This will involve a new /30 allocation on Clueless, routed to all the ADSL/FTTC lines, and on the FireBrick a subnet on the WAN interface.
Set the gateway to the FireBrick, then the switch can access things like time server, syslog server etc...
