Procurve 8212 and 4208 VLANs and Trunks .. Newbie Alert

All;
I have a Procurve 8212 (SwA) and 2 Procurve 4208s ( SwB and SwC). The
4208s are trunked to the 8212 and the trunk ports are all assigned to
VLAN1.
SwA, SwB use trk2 ; SWA and SwC use trk3.

If I were to assign ports on A B and C to one or more tagged VLANs,
how would ports on a given VLAN communicate if the trunk ports are
assigned to an untagged VLAN?


(If I'm writing gibberish, pls note the 'Newbie Alert' designator in

Look for the procurve manuals, printed or PDFs from hp.com. Seriously.

They have really good docs on this stuff that makes sense, and it's easy
reading too.

HP doesn't use stupid improbable examples like cisco does for everything,
where they explain what a VLAN is, and then in the next example they're
routing DECnet and apple talk across some corporate VPN using 56k lines.
