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 VL...

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.

Also 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.

So here is more detail as to the Vlan configuration on the Procurve. I do not need access to VLAN 20 on the Netgear switch.
The other note that may help, there are other Procurve switches, with similar configurations, passing all the the VLANs via port 16 of this switch
Hope that helps. Thanks for looking at this.

I am not familiar with HP switches, but my knowledge of the VLAN concept tells me that the issue is most likely on the HP switch side. A VLAN trunk is not a VLAN with VID=100. A VLAN trunk is a link between two VLAN-aware devices that can handle traffic of multiple VLANs no matter what their VIDs are.
I think you should remove the “Trunk” VLAN from the HP switch as well as forget about VID=100 since they do not server any purpose. Instead, make the ports on both sides of the link UNTAGGED in VLAN1 and set their PVID to 1. Of course, that port should stay TAGGED in VLAN5. Also, if the HP switch makes it possible, define that port as “General” instead of “Trunk” for better compatibility with the NETGEAR switch. Moreover, it would be a good idea to remove that port from VLAN20 since each VLAN is a broadcast domain and the HP switch will try to send VLAN20 broadcast to the NETGEAR switch although there is no VLAN20 there.
