VLAN trunk link between two NETGEAR
Hello,
We have several Netgear switches and we are attempting to extend a VLAN to a second Netgear Switch.
Currently, we use a Fortigate Firewall Router that has 4 VLANs. In this case, VLAN2 connects from the Fortigate to a GS748Tv5 via a Tagged port that functions properly and correctly passes traffic.
We are adding a wifi solution that requires POE so we ordered a GS752TPP to provide POE. Wifi traffic will be needed on VLAN2. We are attempting to extend VLAN2 from the GS748Tv5 to the GS752TPP. We have set up trunking per the document linked but it has been unsuccessful.
Is there a different solution we should be using in this scenario, or should we be using routes instead?
When we move the VLAN2 input from the Fortigate directly into the GS752TPP the traffic flows fine. For some reason, the VLAN will not flow through the GS748Tv5 to the GS752TPP despite being set up properly according to the document linked.
