VLAN Trunking across multiple GS748T (and other switches)
Hi, We have a setup with a number of Netgear switches (two are GS748Tv5) and I want to create a VLAN, let's say 10 which is present on both switches. What I want is ports 1,2,3 and 4 on Switc...

Hi Carl,
Thank you.
So when I do this, I can see the device which is fine, but I want whats plugged into Switch B to be on two VLANs.
Basically, I have 10 devices that generate a lot of broadcast traffic, I want these on VLAN5 on Switch A.
On Switch B I want to be able to see VLAN5, but also be connected to VLAN1 as that's where the rest of the network is and so when I changed the PVID I could see my deivces but could no longer browse the internet.
Is this possible?
Many thanks

Sorry for late to back.
As far as I known , it is not possible to achieve that by vlan.
Devices like pc generate traffic with no tags， and the untagged traffic would all goes into the pvid vlan. So it can't sperate traffic to internet and to Switch A.
The goal setting two vlan on Swith B is just want to prevent devices on swithB from the broadcast that generate from devices on swithA? If it is , I think you can achieve this by the funtion of Storm Control intead of setting two vlans on Switch B.
About how to set Storm Control you can refer here page 50-51.
Anything in trouble keep us posted.
