Both ends are set to trunk. I will set all of the others to General as they all either go to computers or access points, or cameras.
I will get you the config files probably towards the end of the week. That is what I was thinking based on the other Cisco doc I read all I need to do is set both of the two fibre links up as trunks and it should work, but there is another one that also said the part about tagging. I have VLAN 20 (the VLANS are 1, 10 and 20) on port 50 on both ends, I have also removed it but still no joy. I need to learn the CLI on these things, Again thank you for your time and help.
