If your switch ports are not tagged properly then traffic will not route <br>
across VLAN's. Also any downstream switches must also have the VLANS <br>
configured and uplink ports properly tagged as well. I'd start by <br>
getting two subnets talking to each other only on this layer3 switch <br>
before complicating it by adding downstream switches.<br>
