Creating a vlan on secondary switch

I have the following setup on my home network and am trying to make a vlan with it’s own subnet and connection.  My router is pfsense 2.4.4.  It’s connected to a GS108Tv2 which then connects to a GS105Ev2.  The vlan is going to reside on the 105E.  I’m not getting traffic to go theough and want to make sure the vlan is setup correct;y before other trouble shooting.  The 108T has vlan 10 created with port 1 as the tagged port.  All other ports are blamk.  Gs108T port 1 connects to GS105E port 1.  I created vlans in the 105E.  vlan 1 is the default vlan.  Vlan 10 was created to match vlan 10 on the 108T. 105E port 1 is tagged in vlan 10.  The other 4 ports are untagged, where the devices are connectted.  On the defaul vlan 1 of the 105E i left port 1 as untagged and the other ports blank.  The pvid’s for vlan 10 on the 105E are 10 (ports 2-5).  It thath the correct way to set it up? Pfsense has vlan 10 setup as a new interface on the lan interface serving up a different ip range.

Re: Creating a vlan on secondary switch

I figured out how to set it up.  I'm using pfsense as my router.  pfsense connects to port 4 and 5 on the gs108t (5 being redundant pfsense box).  I have vlan1 on the 108 with port 1 marked as T and all others as U.  I created vlan10 with ports 1, 4, and 5 marked as T and all others unmarked.  On the GS105E I have vlan1 with port 1 as T and the rest as U.  I created vlan10 with port 1 as T and all others as U.  The PVID of ports 2-5 is 10.  Vlan 10 is now identified by pfsense and is being served it's own subnet set of IP's.  I hope this helps someone else.

Provide screenshots of the VLAN configurations on both switches, for the VLAN 10m for the VLAN 1, ..., please.

Re: Creating a vlan on secondary switch

Port 1 is the trunk link between the switches.  I had changed the port to tagged on both vlan 1 and 10 based on some things I read.  In that scenario, I cannot get any IP generated on vlan 10.  In the original scenario woth port 1 on vlan 1 as untagged, I was getting IP’s but not from the vlan network 10, which had a different range.
