Cisco vs HP vs Dell CLI - VLAN Configuration

July 03, 2014 0 Comments cisco, hp, dell

This post continues my series on the differences between these three manufacturers and how they implement L2 and L3 VLANs.

Scenario 1: Create a Layer 2 VLAN

Cisco IOS:

vlan 10

HP Procurve:

vlan 10

Dell Powerconnect:

vlan database
vlan 10

Scenario 2: Create a Layer 3 VLAN (that's routable)

Cisco IOS:

interface vlan 10
ip address 192.168.1.

Cisco vs HP vs Dell CLI - Interface Configuration

Cisco IOS:

interface GigabitEthernet1/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10

hostname HP-PROCURVE-CORE

time timezone -480
time daylight-time-rule Continental-US-and-Canada
sntp server priority 1 128.138.140.

HP Switch (ProCruve) QoS Guide

Coming from a Cisco QoS background, I wanted to get a good grasp on HP QoS with the ProCurve switches, but there isn't much information out there (besides the Advanced Traffic Management Guide by HP).  This post should should consolidate some of that information, and is based on the the Advanced Traffic Management Guide, various vendor HP interopability guides, and
