Configuring connection between switches (alien.top)

Hi all, I have a new switch on home and I was wondering how to configure the connection between them.

My actual switch (SW-A) has all vlans (1,10,30,50,60) and I want to pass all vlans to SW-B.

PFSense LAN (+vlans) port 1 to SW-A port 1

SW-A port 8 to SW-B port 1

So my first approach is:

- SW-A port 8: Assign all vlans as tagged

- SW-B create all vlans ID

- SW-B port 1: Assign all vlans as tagged.

Is this the correct way?

Set the uplink port with the desired vlan tags or set to all traffic if that setting is available. Then configure the rest of the ports with necessary vlan info.
