No way to do that. It just a easy smart switch that allow all VLAN to access its web page. Management switch could do that.

Of course there would be a way to do it: by TP-Link changing the firmware. Even cheap business-class WiFi APs such as those running PharOS let you change the VLAN ID for access to their web UI after a firmware upgrade by TP-Link and Easy Smart switches are classified as business-class devices, too.

This "Default VLAN" could be a policy decision of TP-Link for model separation, but it makes it difficult to sell EAPs, CPEs and Easy Smart switches to small businesses in existing hotspot systems, which already use VLAN 1 for another purpose and need a Multi-SSID setup. Those SMB customers would be willing to buy a TL-SG108E/PE to connect the EAPs/CPEs, but not a much more expensive manageable switch with plenty of functions they don't need at all.

I also requested the source code form them so that I can make the changes. Got rejected!


This is a really bad business decision for not letting users to:

a. remove vlan1
b. allow tag support on vlan1
c. un-member ports belonging to vlan1


Shame on tp-link for not taking action!

Nice trick! Doesn't solve missing tag support on VLAN 1, but at least allows to limit VLAN 1 to certain ports. Kudos! :cool:

Not sure that need send to tp-link.
It not resolving any BUG. It HACK.
BUG not present, it TP-LINK marketing.... If not want fixed VLAN1, must buy other model of management switch.
Here my experiment with configure file.

I have sent the email to tp-link technical support team. They said they have feedback this demand to their RD engineer.
I do not know whether they will release the firmware, I will ask them some days later.
PS: Sometimes,I send email to tp-link global technical support team, not local technical support team.Their senior engineer may give accurate information.
But this one depends on luke also:p
