I'm trying to depreciate usage of VLAN 1 on my ProCurve switches; 1 is unused. I understand that VLAN 1 must exist, but I want to remove it from all ports, especially trunks between switches.

The problem I have is that stacking does not seem to work without VLAN 1.

I have changed the primary VLAN and management VLAN on all the switches:

(config)# primary-vlan 42
(config)# management-vlan 42
(config)# no vlan 1 untagged 25

Port 25 is the link between the 2 switches I'm testing with; the stack master and a member switch; I only want tagged traffic between the switches, no untagged frames.

show stacking on the master shows all members as "UP" but I can not telnet any of them:

Telnet failed: Connection timed out.

All switches have manually assigned (static) IP addresses on VLAN 42, and all exist in the same /25 subnet, as does my desktop. I can telnet the switches directly from my desktop to the individual switch IP addresses, just not from the master switch.

Do I need to reboot the switches to have the primary-vlan change take effect? Or is there something else I'm missing?

EDIT: show vlans output:

    Which HP ProCurve switch model(s) are you using?

    Sorry, I did forget that. The stack master is a 2510G-48, the member I'm testing with is a 2510-24. The other members in the stack are 2510G-24, 2510-48 and 2520-8-PoE. All show the same behaviour, and all are running latest available firmware.

  • I'm just a bit rusty on procurve but try to mark the primary vlan as untagged.

    When setting up our 5400zl's we had to set one vlan as untagged and tag everything else. It just wouldn't work with all set to tagged.
