VLAN configuration between switches is not working as expected...
I have three netgear switches, Orbi, and a pfsense Firewall. The configuration is simple enough - GS324T is the "main" switch. It connects to the pfsense firewall on Port 24, and has a series of VLAN...
Thanks so much for responding. I thought I had some fundamental misunderstaning - but the problem was so mind numbingly basic that it hurts.
At the new GS308T switch on my desktop, it turns out that the cable running to Port 8 (the trunk) and port 5 (my desktop PC), got muddled up in the desk's cable management.
I had them plugged in the wrong way around. :smileysurprised:
Set it up fresh this morning when I spotted the mistake... and it all worked first time.
embarrasing, but at least it's working :D
Very confusing information on your post. Matter of fact, it's rather easy - considering we talk of real 802.1q VLANs, here each makes it's own broadcast domain, and has it's with individual IP subnetwork. From the description, we only see which VLANs are configured on each port - and not how the VLANs are associated on the ports. Considering you have several ports being members of multiple VLANs check this:
For an access port where you need a single system to a specific VLAN, put the port (or LAG) to VLAN xxx [U], PVID xxx.
Where you need multiple VLANs on the same port - this can be for links to systems with VMs, serving mutliple VLANs, or for switch-to-switch connections AKA. trunks - only _one VLAN can be used [U]ntagged (same PVID), all other VLANs must be carried as [T]agged. The same config must be in place on the peer, being on another switch, or on a host (and VM) config.
