=Overview=

The FireBrick 2500/2700 ~~has~~ 4 ethernet ports, ~~typically~~ one port will be for the LAN connection (for example - to the main office switch), and the rest for connections to the ADSL/FTTC modems.

The FireBrick 2500/2700 have 4 ethernet ports, the 2900 has 4 plus an SFP which can be used with a Copper of fibre SFP to give an additional port. Typically one port will be for the LAN connection (for example - to the main office switch), and the rest for connections to the ADSL/FTTC modems.

As there are 4 ports are we restricted to only bonding up to 3 ADSL/FTTC lines? No.

Line 17:

The switch would be set up for 4 (or more) separate VLANs on the appropriate ports, and on the FireBrick, the <ppp .../> config would have VLAN="n".

Below are some notes on setting up a HP ProCurve 1810G-8:

The HP ProCurve 1810G-8 (J9449A) is a nice little 8 port managed switch. No fans and similar in size to a FireBrick.

On some switches you may need to set the PVID accordingly - ie Port 1 = PVID 101, Port 2 = PVID 102 etc... This was needed on a PoE variant of a switch, but not on the non-PoE variant.

*SAVE CONFIG - otherwise you will learn the hard way
