i'm trying to configure a vlan trunk over three switches.core switch is a unifi usw-24p on port 20 -> is a gs105Epe on port 3 of the gs105pe (uplink port 5) is a gs110tp switch (uplink port 1) . i configure a vlan 40 on port 8 of the 110tp and also on port 1 of the 105pe. I see the pc of vlan 40 from the gs105pe but not from the 110tp. Is this possible or is the gs105pe the bottleneck in my design?

Thank you very very much for your kindly assistance! After a while of searching i found that the GS110TP didn't saved my VLAN Settings ( i don't really now why) and so i was unable to get my devices in the right configuration. Okay now it works. If i try your advice (vlan1 tagged) then i'm unable to reach the webinterfaces of the switches. The access only work if i untag vlan1. Found nothing in the documentation about this behaviour... Again, thanks a lot!
The bottleneck would be in the single GbE of the cascaded switches - but that's up to your design. I would go for a star configuration instead, or deploy some additional trunking.
All that is not relevant - with an 802.1Q VLAN the trunks are commonly tagged, and the related access ports are configured untagged.

thank you very much for the really quick answer! but threre is no chance for a star toplogy and i have to build the switch cascade.
Okay, just for clarifying i attached a illustration. The problem is that i can't reach the GS110TP vlan 40 from the unifi switch. If assume i make a mistake or the GS105PE is not capable for that... is the GS105PE ready for my purpose?

Both Netgear swiches are fully 802.1Q VLAN compliant. Are all switches in 802.1Q VLAN mode, with the trunking/cascading ports configured to be tagged (T) for all VLANs?

I'd suggest to run all the trunk connections as tagged, so don't forget to do the same on the USW port #20.
Any specific reason the VLAN 1 is not configured on the GS105PE trunk ports?
The most confusing is on the GS105PE Port 1 that both VLANs are configured as untagged. To avoid some asymetrical VLAN (discouraged) I'd stronlgy suggest to remove the VLAN 1 U there...
