VLAN SG105E + EAP 225 & 255
Hello all,
I have the following devices as part of my network:
- 1x Virgin media router for internet access
- 2x TP Link access points (EAP225 and EAP255) - connected my network via a 16 port switch
- 1x 16 port TP link unmanaged switch - uplink to Virgin Media router
- 1x 8 port TP link unmanaged switch - uplink to Virgin Media router
- 1x 5 port managed switch (TP link SG105E)
On the WiFi access points, I have configured them to broadcast three WiFi networks:
- IoT (for all my IoT devices)
- Guest (for guests)
- Home network (everything else that doesn’t fall into the two above)
My requirement:
- I have a few devices plugged into both the 8 port and 16 port switches which I would like to be on the ‘Home network’.
- All IoT devices and Guest devices can only connect in via the APs and I would like for them to be separate VLANs.
- I want to set up the VLANs on the switch and bind the WiFi networks on the APs to those VLANs (e.g. VLAN ID 40 = Iot, VLAN ID 50 = guest, VLAN ID 1 = home network).
I can’t figure out how to do this using the web based configuration on the SG105E – getting confused between MTU, port based, 801.2q etc..)
Do I need to plug the 8 port and 16 port switches directly into the new SG105E and 1 port uplinked to Virgin hub? What about the APs, can they remain connected to the 16 port switch or do they also need to be connected to the SG105E?
Any help would be appreciated.
