M4100 ports full. Can I connect to an HP1910 which is available here
Have been making good progress with a pair of M4100 switches thanks to help from this forum. So much so that I have now run out of available ports on one device and need more capacity. To buy anoth...
You just need to assign the uplink from the HP going to the M4100 as T for the VLANs that need to be connected.
e.g.
Uplink Port 1 - VLAN 1,10,20 - T PVID 1
Just make sure that the cable going to the port of the HP is also assigned as Trunk on the said VLANs.

Hi and thanks for the reply. My problem is that I have used all available ports on the M4100 after adding WAPs. These are configured as Trunk ports. What I want to do is move all the WAPs to the HP switch which has PoE. I am seeking advice on how to configure the two switches so they are bridged together. I hope then to move the WAPs to the HP.
My problem is that HP use a different definition of Trunk port from Netgear and I am not sure if I need to configure a Trunk port as defined by HP for the bridge connection or how I should configure the ports for the WAPs on the HP.
I appreciate this is a bit OT and I am very new to this subject so some guidance for a novice would be appreciated please.
