Configuration Guide How to Configure VLAN on Omada Easy Managed Switch in Controller Mode
Background:
As the previous guide is based on the old GUI(V5.14 and earlier versions), many may have questions on how to properly implement the VLAN on the new GUI(V5.15). This post provides a configuration guide to set up a VLAN-tagged and untagged port, PVID, and trunk on TP-Link Omada Easy Managed switches.
The steps are similar to the previous guide, you may also use it for reference in detailed VLAN config.
How to Configure VLAN on TP-Link Switch
This Article Applies to:
All Omada Easy Managed switches that support 802.1Q VLAN.
Configuration Steps:
We do not discuss the VLAN interface creation or anything about the VLAN interface in this setup. Here's a config of the VLAN on the router so that we are aware of the VLANs on this network.
For the purpose of easy understanding and logic, we will start from the L2+ models.
We will discuss the VLAN tag and untag, trunk and PVID in different modes.
Easy Managed models:
Typically known as ES205GP or ES200 series.
Step 1 Adoption
As this is a new product line to fill up the Omada Easy Managed(previously known as Easy Smart), we now need to add it to the controller. Adopt process is similar to how you adopt other Omada devices.
But first things first, you are required to enable the Easy Managed switch support on the Controller.
The error you would see:
Go to the Global View> Dashboard > Edit your current site to enable the support.
Or see this guide: Solution to This Switch Type Is Inconsistent with the Switch Type Configured for the Site
Step 2 Configure Port VLAN(with PVID)
We do not discuss the VLAN interface creation or anything about the VLAN interface in this setup. Here's a config of the VLAN on the router so that we are aware of the VLANs on this network.
Click your device, and go to Ports. Edit your port.
Here, we set one of the VLANs for demonstration.
Step 3 Verification
The computer was previously on 192.168.10.0/24.
Now I have changed port 5, and I reconnected it to port 5 on this switch. It gets an IP from 172.168.1.0/24.
Note:
1. The difference between VLAN Interface and 802.1Q VLAN has been explained in this guide, in the Note area: How to Set Up VLAN Interface on the Omada Router
2. With the default profile All, all newly created VLAN interfaces are placed in the tagged networks. This profile trunks all newly created VLANs except for VLAN 1.
Default Profile can be used for other switch connections.
If you intend to create a VLAN profile with your own defined VLAN, go to Network > LAN > Switch Profile > Create New Port Profile.
3. If ping fails, you should refer to the troubleshooting of this guide: What If My Windows Computer Is Not Accessible or Pingable Over the VPN/VLAN Interface
