DON'T TRUST THE CODE ON THE 35XX SERIES SWITCHES.
Sorry for yelling, but its that important. I've seen repeated situations like this: router switch 1 switch 2 With a daisy chained configuration like this I've seen multiple instances where a vlan that is done correctly on the router won't work on switch 2, even though all the links are set up for trunking. I've tried forcing this situation with allowed vlan configs and so forth, and its just a pain in the you-know-what. It seems less of a hassle with the most recent code, but I never go in and offer a design like that - its just way, way too risky. PA-FE-TX are about $500 on the aftermarket - have them buy you a couple for the 7206, run lines to the switches, and handle each one as an individual connection.
