Using Trunking with the Gig-T/GBIC gl Module
Valid trunking configurations using this module differ from those described in the Management and
Configuration Guide shipped on the documentation CD that came with the switch, and the online
Help provided in the console and web browser interfaces.
The trunking grouping for
the Gig-T/GBIC gl Module is as follows:
Group1: 1-5, 7-11, 16
Group2: 6, 12-15, 17-22
Trunk groups must be created with ports from the same group, Group1 or Group2. See the HP
ProCurve Switch gl Modules Installation Guide for more information.
Required Switch Software Version for Gig-T/GBIC gl Module
Release G.07.41 (or greater) of the switch software is required in the HP ProCurve Series 4100gl
Switches to support the HP ProCurve Gig-T/GBIC gl Module (J4098A).
If a Switch Software CD is included with the module: You can downloa
d that software to your
switch to support the new module. However, you should check the software version currently in the
switch before downloading software from the CD. (See “To Determine the Current Software Version
in Your Switch” in this document.) If the software version in your switch is earlier than the version
on the CD, then you should download the CD version, or go to the HP ProCurve web site to get the
latest software version for your switch. But if the software version in your switch is later than the
CD version (for example, if software version G.07.45 is in the switch and version G.07.41 is on the
CD), then you can discard the CD.
If a Switch Software CD is not included with the module: In this case, your switch should
a
lready have software that supports the module. It is always a good idea to have the latest software
installed on your switch. Go to the HP ProCurve web site at http://www.hp.com/go
/hpprocurve, and
click on software updates then Switches to locate the latest software. You should first make sure that
the software version that is currently on your switch is earlier than the version that is on the web
site. If it is, then download the latest version of the software that is available for your switch.
