VLAN Membership not working over Stacked Uplinks

I can't figure out how to get stacking and VLANs to work over all three switches.

 

I have a M4300-28G as a master (Unit 1) and M4300-52G (Unit 2) and M4300-28G-POE+ (Unit 3) in a stack. I setup the stack as recommended here: https://kb.netgear.com/30332/M4300-Managed-Switch-Series-Stacking-Information.

 

I have multiple VLANs (Primary, VOIP and others). I am trying to get the VLANs to communicate over the stacked uplinks, but I can't get VLAN 30 to work on anything but the primary switch.

 

Unit 1 Port 26 Uplink to Unit 3 Port 26 (over 10GB SFP+) is a member and that VLAN is untagged (along with default untagged). All other ports on Unit 3 are untagged VLAN 30 members. One port on Unit 1 (Port 13) is also untagged member of VLAN 30 (only). 

 

Is there something else that needs to be configured for VLANs to communicate across switches that are in a stack?

    elanconsciousit,

     

    Welcome to our community! :)

     

    Setting up VLANs on a stack is the same thing as setting up a standalone switch. It is now logically working as one switch. I hope this other thread will help you understand how VLAN works.
