=Overview=
The FireBrick 2500/2700 hashave 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 (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.
 
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".

HereBelow 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.
 
*Default IP is "192.168.2.10"
*Default Passwordusername: is blankadmin
*Default password: 1234
 
==Save Config==
 
==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.
 
*Create 4 VLANs (VLANS - VLAN Configuration)

==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

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 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...
