=Overview=
AThe FireBrick 2x002500/2700 has ethernethave 4 ethernet ports, typicallythe 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 (egfor example - to the main office switch), and the rest for connections to the ADSL modems. As there are 4 ports are we restricted to only bonding up to 3 ADSL/FTTC lines? Nomodems.

To overcome the physical port restriction a VLAN switch can be used, eg- for example: ▼

The FireBrick will have a single WAN port, which will plug in to the HP Switch. The ADSL modems will plug in to the HP Switch too.
ThisThe FireBrick will then,have witha VLANssingle WAN port, enablewhich thewill 2700plug in to usethe upHP toSwitch. 7The 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 IP is "192.168.2.10"
 
*Default IPusername: = 192.168.2.10admin
*Default password: = blank1234
 
==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
*Port 2 - VLAN 101102, for ADSL line 2
*Port 3 - VLAN 101103, for ADSL line 3
*Port 4 - VLAN 101104, for ADSL line 4
*PortsPort 8 is for the FireBrick
 
The config was from HP ProCurve 1810G - 8 GE, P.1.17, eCos-2.0, Software Version, P.1.17
 
==Basic Settings==
*Set your computer to an IP in the same subnet as the switch, e.g. 192.168.2.11
 
*Set yourPlug computer to an IP in theto samea subnet as the switchport, eg 192e.168g.2.11 port 7
*logLog in to http://192.168.2.10 with a blank password▼
*Plug computer in to a port, eg port 7
*Maybe set the Systemsystem description details▼
▲*log in to http://192.168.2.10 with a blank password
*Set Adminadmin Passwordpassword (Maintenance - Password Manager) then Savesave and re-login.▼

== Create VLANs. ==
We will set ports 1-4 to be vlansVLANs 101, 102, 103, 104. We'll use port 8 for plugging in to the FireBrick, and use port 7 for our admin. ▼

*Create 4 VLANs (VLANS - VLAN Configuration)
*Set the names to be ADSL1, ADSL2, ADSL3, ADSL4 - this will match the login/line numbers of the ADSL/FTTC lines.

==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
**set VLAN 102 to be U on port 2 and T on port 8. E on rest
**set VLAN 104 to be U on port 4 and T on port 8. E on rest
**set VLAN 1 to be E on port 1, 2, 3, 4 and U on port 5, 6, 7, 8

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
 
==IP Address==
In order to access the Switch, we'll need to setup aan interface on the FB2700FireBrick 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 FB2700FireBrick a subnet on the WAN interface.
Set the gateway to the FireBrick, then the switch can access things like time server, syslog server etc...
