Connecting switches

DonnyForbes78

I have two Cisco SG220-26 both config are pretty much the same for VLANS and tagging etc.. On both switch port 25 & 26 are tagged and all ports are trucked. 

Switch 1 is 10.10.75.xxx 

switch 2 is 10.10.75.xxx 

 

switch one is up and APs connect and cloud key as well and is operating, today when I plugged in switch 2 from port 26 to switch 1 port 26 and I was unable to ping switch 2. 

hope this is clear please advise how I can get these two switches working together. Thank you

Take example Switch 1 already running 10.10.75.1 and you added Switch 2 ( make sure configure Trunk to allow the VLAN or allow all VLAN)

 

one switch 2  - configured 10.10.75.2 (this should be unique IP address you can not have same IP.

then add default route towards 10.10.75.1 to work.

This is switch 1 screen shot and switch 2 is the exact same way except different IP.

Should this work, or am I missing something? Also the adding the route where is this done? or is this done in the "administrative default gateway"

 

Again thanks for all your advice on this much appreciated. 

If this is the case for switch-2, then it should all work. As for "adding the route" all you need is a "default gateway" (10.10.75.1) on switch-2. 

Now, all the ports on switch-1 are configured as trunk? If you are connecting a laptop or a PC to switch-2 to test, the port needs to be an access port and be in the correct VLAN.

Thank you for replying, the default gateway is added on switch 2 all VLAN are the same as switch one and as well as the ports being tagged.  So based off this I should be able to plug from switch 2 port 26 -> switch 1 port 26 and all should be good correct? I am going to test a little later today, Can I message you and let you know the results? 

 

Thanks again appreciate it. 

Yes, after testing, let us know the results.
