Normally you First trunk switches and then assign all VLAN's to the trunk as tagged VLAN's<br />
The PVID Vlan for the interfaced used in the trunk should be all the same (on both sides).<br />
There can be only one &quot;native&quot; / &quot;untagged&quot; / PVID &nbsp;VLAN / port.<br />
<br />
The Trunk should show up as a new interface.

Hi noci,<br />
Thanks for taking time and information. I'm thinking creating the Trunk between switches is where my problem is. I know this should be very basic and I'm doing something stupid. Planning to work on this issue Saturday and will followup.<br />
Thanks noci!<br />

We have 3 Zyxel XGS2210-52HP switches uplinked from fiber SPF ports. VLAN's have been configured on all switches. From VLAN Port Setup, I select VLAN Trunking for PVID created, (40), and SFP port, (52). When I Apply, the switch looses connectivity with network. Only option is to power cycle switch to reconnect. Please educate me on what I'm doing wrong and proper way to trunk the 3 switches. &nbsp;Current Zyxel XG2210 firmware is running, (4.50)<br />

VLAN

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
