You need to create 3 VLANs on all four Cisco switches & you also need either a Layer 3 switch or a Router on a Stick for Inter-Vlan routing.

I would go for a Layer 3 Cisco switch (like 3550 etc) for inter VLAN routing which is 100 times faster than a router on a stick.

But there is a problem with HP switches, you need a very weird type of console cable (9 Pin to 9 Pin) unlike Cisco console cable which is easily available in the market. It took me 3 months to arrange this cable from internet. There is another way of connecting to HP switches if you don’t have...

You can still assign it an IP address for management or even for configuring VLANs & Trunk Ports. I am also few “HP ProCurve Switch 2524” & “HP J4865A ProCurve Switch 4108GL” switches. Linkers.

Pls send me your Switch model and vendor info... Linkers

Every switch does not have to be assigned an IP address. Also IP address can only be assigned to manageable switches like Cisco etc so you can telnet & manage them remotely. IP address in a layer 2 switch has nothing to do anything with switch’s own functionality.

It’s always recommended to use VTP in transparent mode in all your switches if you are managing few switches (10 or 15). This way you can create & modify VLANs locally on each switch. I don’t think so your users will even notice a network glitch… Linkers…

It looks like this switch is not manageable. Can you log into your router. If yes give "Sh arp" command. Linkers
