vlan routing and you have other Netgear switches connected
Do you need to turn on vlan routing on all switches connected on same lan or do you only need to turn it on one of the switches
Thanks

Hi dominiccoombe,
Welcome to the community! :)
For example: Let say you have an M4300 switch as Switch 01 and another switch which is an M4100 switch as Switch 02. Switch 01 is directly connected to Switch 02. In this setup, be reminded that you just need to configure VLAN Routing on Switch 01 and do not enable VLAN routing on Switch 02 because that is already being taken care of by Switch 01. Then, for each VLAN you require on Switch 02, you must create that VLAN manually. Make sure to set the untagged members and PVID accordingly. On the uplink port (between Switch 01 and Switch 02), set the port as tagged (T) in each VLAN which must communicate from Switch 02 to Switch 01 (or vice versa) and also to the router.

Often missed is that configuring and enabling VLAN routing is just a part of the work - the complete static routing environment in the network must be changed accordingly.
- How do you mean the static routing needs to be setup won't the vlan routing or if I turned on switch routing take care of this?
Plus we point all machines to the default gateway to handle this
