Configure VLAN for 2 switches connected in series

Thu Nov 10, 2022 3:17 am

Hi, i'm struggling to configure the network like in the diagram below in attachment and had no success :(.
Anyone can help me configuring and best practices that i should follow for that specific case?

I have read that it is better to use switch chipset directly because it help a lot without dealing with CPU work.

Need a step by step guide or a script that can help me configure that network.
Thank you so much!

In regards to the switch chipset, please check if it is feasable for your hardware:

Post what you have from all three devices.
each one gets a single bridge,
all smart devices get IP from trusted lan (or a separate managment lan).
All data flows on vlans, dont use bridge for dhcp.
