Ubiquiti ER X to Netgear GS324T VLAN
Hello,
I am using an Ubiquiti X +SFP router connected to a Netgear GS324T managed switch. I have setup the following configuration:
On Edgerouter X:
SFP port ISP connection DHCP
Switch ports = DHCP enabled
port eth0 = mangement vlan1
port eth1 = VLAN10
port eth2 = VLAN20
port eht3 = VLAN30
port eth4 = VLAN40
The above works as it should. Internet is connected and working, I can ping each vlan both internally and externally without packet loss. I have since connected eth0 on the router vlan1 into U port 1 of VLAN1 on the GS324T then connected port 2 on the GS324T VLAN1 to my PC so both are on the same management vlan1 This works flawlessly and I can mange both the router and the netgear switch completely.
I have configured a total four VLANS on the GS324T with associated U ports. These are:
Ports 1,2,3,4 = VLAN1 (default)
Ports 5,6,7,8,9,10,11 = VLAN10
Ports 12,13,14,15,16 = VLAN20
Ports 17,18,19,20 = VLAN30
Ports 21,22,23,24,(25,26 SFP) VLAN40
I have set all ports to the above vlans as U. I have set pvid's for all U ports to the appropriate matching VLAN numbers (ie 10, 20, 30, 40).
I have set router ports as follows:
eth1 - VID 10
eth2 - VID 20
eth3 - VID 30
eth4 - VID 40
It is my understanding the in the Ubiquiti world VID is a Tagged traffic port.
Now the problem is that I cannot get any connection to devices attached to any of the U ports on the GS324T switch. connectivity is fine on management vlan1. I have set all GS324T ports 5 through 26 as Blank or non members of the defined vlans per my understanding reading all documentation. Do I need to reverse this post membership for ports 5 through 26 to get this working?
Thanks for any help here.

Perfect recipe to run into troubles.
1. Even if there are different VLANs on each link, all the links will cause network loops. Create some LAG (static or dynamic LACP) on multiple router ports and multiple switch link ports if you desire more bandwidth.
2. Create VLAN trunks on the LAGs resp. all participating ports, configure each VLAN as tagged on the trunk.
3. Now you have each VLAN associated on the switch to the related VLAN internally.
4. Now you can split the VLANs on the dedicated VLAN port sets where you want to have simple access ports (only one VLAN with untagged access and the same VLAN PVID.
PS. No difference on any other VLAN capable switch manufacturer and model in this class. Using untagged links as trunk port is very poor design, acceptable only if the attached device can handle untagged only.
