How To Create A VLAN On A HP V1910

Written by Allen White on April 23, 2013. Posted in HP Procurve

In this guide we will create a VLAN on the HP Procurve V1910, tag ports to the VLAN on the HP V1910 and then setup a DHCP relay. Then first thing you will need to do is log into to the switch. Once in browse to the network tab and then select VLAN and then create.

On the create screen simply enter the VLAN ID number and click create, we can now give the VLAN a description, for example if it was for voice you would give it a valid name. As seen in the screen shot below.

We are now ready to tag ports on the HP V1910 to the VLAN we have created. First select modify port. then select the ports you would like to tag by clicking on them, if you want all ports then select all. Once done then decide whether they will be untagged or tagged, we are tagging ports to VLAN 2 here so select tag. Then specify the VLAN ID , here we select 2. Finally click apply.

We now need to assign an interface IP address to this vlan now, we need this if we want to route traffic to this VLAN such as DHCP. To do so select VLAN interface and create. Enter the VLAN that we have just created as the ID, then specify the IP address that we will give this VLAN, I normally start at 1, specify the subnet and click apply.

We now have a VLAN with a VLAN interface created , we are now ready to setup a DHCP relay ( IP Helper Address ) on the HP V1910. Here we first click on DHCP and click enable, we must first create a Server Group ID. To do so click add.

once you have clicked add, then give the group an ID number and enter the IP address of your DHCP server. Then click apply.

Now we need to assign the IP helper service group the VLAN we created, to do so select your VLAN and then under operation select edit. Enable the DHCP relay option and select the server group ID we created. Finally click apply.

This process is now complete.

I’ve followed your steps but the PC on VLAN 2 still does not get an IP Address. Is there more configuration to be done that is not mentioned here? How does the pc on VLAN2 communicate to the DHCP server to get an address and also how would this PC be able to get to the internet since the gateway is on a different subnet? Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello there, search the site for DHCP relay. You need to set-up one up so that your DHCP server can assign addresses correctly. With regards to how would it get to the internet, you can create a static route from the gateway the PC uses to your firewall etc.

Hi there, I have configured vlan on my router and ive got an AP with multiple ssid and two of them vlan associated with may I know how do it set it up on the switch? Should i set all ports as trunks? or only those that the AP’s are plugged in. Im new to HP so im not that familiar how the setup would be.

Hay im a bit late i guess i did it like you (but without dhcp dont need it) but the problem is that vlan 1 can ping vlan 2 and also acces the gateway of it.

Router : 10.0.0.1

vlan 1 10.0.0.254 (Port 1)(uplink)
Vlan 2 10.0.10.1 (Port 1 tagged, port 2-15)
vlan 3 10.0.20.1 (port 1 tagged, port 16 untagged)

added routing 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 to hop 10.0.0.1

so i dont want that vlan 2 and vlan 3 communicate with each other but its still possible vlan 3 can even access 10.0.10.1 which should be impossible (PC´s has the switch as gateway)
