4000m to cisco 3550g48

[Marty99]

I want to hook up a HP4000M to a Cisco 3550G48 via fiber. On the cisco side I set the Giga port to dot1q trunk, swithport mode trunk and non-negotiate. What do I have to do on the HP side to make this thing work. There is only 2 vlans on the cisco side, mgmt and users. I am not familiar with the HP stuff. Any help is appreciated.

thanks

I think you only need to enable VLAN tagging on the port on your HP and set the name the same as your VLAN name.
Let me know if this works for you. I am sure this will work because the 802.1q tagging will add the VLAN identifier to the Tag Control information within the frame, adding 4 bytes total to the packet size. As long as you have the VLAN names on the cisco trunk port you will be fine... I think.

Thanks for the brain teaser...
