Configure VLANs across multiple switches

[fogartytom]

Hi.

I'm trying to configure a segregated network using a VLAN. There are 5 switches on the site (all SG200). A router with 2 interfaces - one for the normal network and for the segregated network - is connected and located at switch 1. The network which needs to be segregated and the PCs on it are connected to a port on switch 5. Switch 1 is connected to switch 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and 4 to 5.

I have created a VLAN but can't get the network to talk to the first switch over the link. I have created a VLAN ID 10 on each switch. Do the switches have to be linked together logically in some way to get this to work.

Thanks.
