I'm new to managed networking. So I'm having trouble understanding how to set up my switches properly. I have a closed network with about 20 switches and 2 IDF's. No router, and no internet. I have a SLM 2024 in want to have 4 ports set up with a VLAN. I have another SLM2024 I want to be on the same VLAN some where else. Switch 1 uses port 24 GBIC as and uplink port to one of the IDF's. Switch 2 uses ports 12 and 24 copper(LACP) to make a hop from another switch(ports 1 and 13 LACP)which inturn is connected to thesame IDF on port 24 GBIC. How do I set up switch 1 ports 7,8,19,20? Also, how do I set up switch 2 ports 7,8,19,20? VLAN 11
Thanks for any help

Hello Lawrence,
To create a VLAN;
Let me know if this is helpful or if I may clarify anything.

Does this mean that VLAN 11 should have the uplink ports tagged?

What about LAG groups?

Lawrence,
If you're connecting something which is to be a member of only vlan 11, it should be 11 untagged. The links connecting between switches should have a default vlan untagged, 11 tagged to allow both VLAN to travel over the wire.
To configure lag group;
*Remember once a LAG is created, it is like any other port and can be configured as such
