VLAN Trunk
This should be easy but.... I'm trying to set up a simple vlan trunk from my Netgear GS308T (on current firmware) to an HP Procurve switch. I'm using the NETGEAR Switch as an access switch for the VLANS I have 2 VLANS setup on the procurve VLAN 1 and VLAN 5. I want port 8 on the NETGEAR switch to be the trunk to the rest of the switch infrastructure.
I have ports 1 & 2 on the NETGEAR members (untagged) into VLAN 1 and ports 3-7 as VLAN 5 members (untagged) and PVIDs set on those ports to 1 and 5 respectively.
Port 8 is a member of both VLAN 1 and 5 (Tagged membership). No matter what I try only VLAN 1 seems to connect through to the Procurve switch infrastructure. VLAN 5 ports work to each other on the NETGEAR switch but never connect to the rest of VLAN 5 on the Procurve switch. No matter what I try I can;t get VLAN 5 to push through the trunk. Any ideas?

- schumakuGuru - Experienced UserPost the graphic config of the Netgear switch (complete) so we can look into it.
Same for the HP Procurve switch a d port config. The terminology is similar on all brands.
Scrap the term clan connecting - it's always a physical making the connection including the untagged VLANs plus the tagged frames transporting the VLAN frames.- bakerjlb3Aspirant
Ok Here you go ---- the Netgear:
And the Procurve:
Note that Port 8 on the Netgear is cabled to Port 15 of the Procurve.
Also note that I have tried establishing PVID 100 on the Netgear as it is in the Procurve. The picture provided shows PVID 1 on the Netgear but as I said I have attempted this using PVID 100 with no success.
Hope that helps.

- schumakuGuru - Experienced UserAlso show the VLAN Port config where the details are visible if it's [T]agged [U]ntagged on the Port level.
It's not about guessing if it's VLAN 1 or VLAN 100 you need a plan what you want to configure ob the switch (VLAN numbers) and what you need in the port. Don't be confused about th different vebdor defaults.
