trunking two switches but only one vlan working
I'm a noob to VLANs beyond basics so hopefully someone can help with this simple setup. I just can't see the mistake in trying to setup two VLANs between two managed switches (Netgear GS305E and D-Li...
Turns out the solution was to factory reset the D-Link switch. Not sure what it was doing but no matter what I tried (including the suggestion) didn't work.
In the end, having the default VLAN is also not recommended (it's a security issue). I ended up creating two VLANs with all ports untagged except for the trunk ports as tagged for all VLANS. Then made VLAN 1 (default) as non-mandatory. However, this is just an extra step. Real solution was to factory reset the D-Link and re-do the configuration I mentioned earlier if one just wants to solve the problem with VLAN 1 still being a default.
Hi TomZeee
Welcome to Community!
For the VLAN1, could you please change the port5 untag to VLAN1(PVID=1) and try again on GS305E?
By default, we hope new VLANs(non-VLAN1) forward with tagged between two switches, but VLAN1 without tagged.
