How to configure 802.1Q VLAN on TP-Link Smart and Managed switches

NC

Here's how to configure 802.1Q VLANs on TP-Link Smart and Managed switches:

  1. Create VLANs: First, create the VLANs that you want to use. Assign unique VLAN IDs to each VLAN and configure the appropriate ports to be members of each VLAN.

  2. Configure port VLAN membership: Configure each port on the switch to be a member of one or more VLANs. You can do this either through the web interface or through the command line interface (CLI).

  3. Configure port type: Configure each port on the switch to be either a trunk port or an access port. A trunk port carries traffic for multiple VLANs, while an access port carries traffic for only one VLAN.

  4. Configure trunk ports: If you have trunk ports, configure them to carry traffic for the appropriate VLANs. You can either allow all VLANs to pass through the trunk port, or you can restrict it to certain VLANs.

  5. Configure the default VLAN: Every switch has a default VLAN, which is the VLAN that untagged traffic belongs to. Configure the default VLAN on each switch to be the appropriate VLAN.

  6. Configure VLAN tagging: If you have devices that support VLAN tagging, configure them to tag their traffic with the appropriate VLAN ID.

After completing these steps, your VLANs should be up and running. Verify connectivity between the end devices to ensure that traffic is being properly forwarded across the VLANs.
