Migration from HP to Cisco switch?

Dears,

How can i migrate from HP switch to Cisco switch using the same subnet but with different vlans??

like i have users connected with vlan 10 on HP switch and i want them to be connected with vlan 150 which will be configured on the new cisco 3850 switch and the vlan 10 interface on HP switch is on IP: 10.1.1.1/24 and int vlan 150 on cisco switch will be for example 10.1.1.2/24 on same subnet so that users are connected to new switches will operate immediately (plug n play solution)??

Hi,

It should work fine since you are not changing the subnet.  On the 3850 create vlan 150 and add the proper ports to it and create an SVI in the same subnet as HP.  You just need some downtime to move the cables from HP to Cisco.

As Reza says, it should work fine.

The users devices (PC/laptop/printer ect) have no concept of what 'Vlan' they are on, the Vlan ID is only really relevant to the switch itself so it can maintain its CAM table etc.

My only addition would be to ensure Vlan 150 is added on any other switch in the network and across Trunks etc, unless the 3850 is the only L2 switch you have :)

Thanks
