Problem connecting two 1920 switches
I have a weird problem connecting two 1920 switches with the following layout.
Switch1:
Default Vlan1 (all ports)
Ip 192.168.1.32
Gateway (firewall 192.168.1.1) connected to port 28
Switch 2:
Vlan 1 : ip 192.168.1.31
Ports 1-16 untagged
Link from switch 1 connected to port 1
Vlan 2: ip 172.16.32.45
Ports 17-24 untagged
Gateway(firewall 172.16.32.1) connected to port 28
Dhcp comes from each separate gateway. I don't want/need communication between vlans.
The problem is that as soon as I connect the cable between switches 1 and 2, I can't get an ip from dhcp or communicate even with a static ip on my pc, using vlan 1.
If I disconnect the cable and plug directly into switch one, there is no problem.
Vlan 2 is working well.
So far I added the gateway to each vlan.
Am i missing something?
Thanks in advance

Re: Problem connecting two 1920 switches
Hope not to be wrong but it smells like a loop.
Does the Firewall has two LAN ports: one Untagged (PVID 1) connected on port 28 of Switch 1 and the other one Untagged (PVID 2) connected on port 28 of Switch 2 or the Firewall uses just one single LAN port VLAN 1 Untagged plus VLAN 2 Tagged (sub-interface)?
Does the Switch 1 <--> Switch 2 uplink (single cable) permit all VLANs as when you define a Port Trunk between Switches?

Re: Problem connecting two 1920 switches
Hi:
Thanks for your reply.
The firewall has two separate ports for each of my switches. It is a fortigate 100D, divided into hardware switches, so no traffic can go between them. The weird thing is I have this same configuration on another lab here and it works without problem.
Regarding the switch link, it is between 2 access ports. Port 1 on switch 1 to port 2 on switch one. They are both untagged members on VLAN1.
Today I found the ARP table was being filled by the wireless network (VLAN 172.16.32.1) so I disabled gratuitous ARP.
After that, I cleared the dynamic ARP.
Now the ARP table is moderate (about 50 addresses). But I'm still having the same problem between switches.

Re: Problem connecting two 1920 switches
Switch inter-link's ports should be set of Trunk type (not Access) IMHO.
Could you draw a basic network diagram reporting VLAN PVID, Untagged/Tagged ports status/configuration about all involved Switches/Firewall ports?
I've a similar setup: an old Fortinet FortiGate 100A providing two physically separated LANs interfaces as gateways for two different VLANs (Wired hosts group on VLAN id 1 and Wireless Guest hosts group on VLAN id 5), those Firewall's ports are connected to different ports (one PVID 1 the other PVID 5) of the same Switch, that Switch then has a Port Trunk (4x1Gbps) to another Switch (with all VLANs permitted).
