Thanks for your help Rasmus. I was over complicating things. Information you shared pointed me in right direction. Thank you sir! Chip

Rasmus..... You make it sound so simple. Thanks SO much for taking the time. I knew I was doing something stupid. I'm assuming when I used PVID 40 on port 52, it only allowed devices with VLAN ID 40 to communicate. I'll give this a try Saturday and will followup. Much appreciated Rasmus! Chip

Good morning Jonas, Thanks for quick response. "Zyxel Switch SFP ports (uplink) could also configure as the trunking port." is where I'm running into problems. When I have all 3 switches configured for VLAN 40, on ports 45-48. I set SPF port 52 as VLAN Trunking port, I loose connectivity. I must be doing something…

I have a better understanding how VLAN Trunking works between intermediary switches that do not have VLAN Groups configured. VLAN Trunking is not what I need to accomplish. Question is: Do I need to configure SPF uplink ports as a Trunk Port? I thought a trunk port was required between switches for VLAN traffic? Thanks!…
