Suggest you look on kb.netgear.com and in their forums. Netgear refer to it as VLAN tagging rather than trunking and the procedure to set up

802.1Q trunks and tag ports is a bit messy compared with the Cisco method.

Once you turn on taging a VLAN on the Netgear, it'll be a "trunk" port in Cisco speak. The mixed tagged/untag model doesn't work well to grow/interopt with cisco, usually all vlans are tagged.
