Help with VLAN between 2 Netgear switches

[petrosky]

Hi there,

Apologies if this is an inappropriate forum for my query.

I have 2 Netgear FSM726S switches connected via a port trunk on ports 25/26.

I have created a VLAN with PVID of 5 on both switches.

Assume I have added ports 1 and 2 on both switches to VLAN 5. and removed ports 1 and 2 from the default VLAN.

All member ports are untagged.

I have also tagged both trunk ports on both VLANS.

The VLAN works on each separate switch but not between switches.

The requirement for this is that we are adding a different network that requires it's own DHCP server. I simply wish to separate the ports to prevent incorrect IP assignments.

Does anyone have any experience setting up a VLAN between switches?

If it helps I have followed the guide here...

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Regards,

petrosky

Can't really say for sure, but with Cisco switches, you have to configure VTP on each switch. That's essentially the information that allows VLAN config info to flow to other switches. Each has to have matching VLAN config, so that they are all aware of the same VLAN info.
