cisco ws-c2948g-ge-tx compatible with netgear gs316?

I have a client trying to connect a dummy netgear switch to a port on my cisco switch (see models in title).

I have the port configured for the appropriate vlan.

Connecting a single PC to the port will garner a proper IP address. My client wants to use the dummy switch to manage a set of laptops in a laptop cart.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
