Setting up VLAN tagging on ports
Model :
Hardware Version :

Hello. I've gone through a number of posts here trying to figure out my issue on my own, but nothing has seemed to fit exactly.
I have an established corporate network with multiple VLANs in place (10,20,40,60,80,90,100). All Cisco equipment and I can modify ports as needed. I have DHCP ranges in VLANs 10,20,60,80 and 90.
As far as I can tell, port 1 will be the uplink port. A trunk port as I would call it. I'd like to set port 2 with VLAN10, ports 3 & 4 with VLAN80 and port 5 with VLAN90. Traffic passing through ports 2-5 should be tagged with the assigned VLAN (port 2 with VLAN10, 3 & 4 with VLAN80 and 5 with VLAN90).
I tried to set this up but didn't get the expected result. Port 1 was plugged into the network. The network switchport is trunked with native VLAN of 10. When I plugged my laptop into port 2, I received a VLAN10 address. When I plugged into ports 3-5 I still received an IP address from VLAN 10. I anticipated the traffic would be tagged VLAN 80 or 90 and issued IPs from those ranges. What am I missing?
Disclosure, I am used to Cisco nomenclature so I'm not completely understanding the TP terminology.
I've attached a picture of the settings I've tried.

Re:Setting up VLAN tagging on ports
Thanks for your reply.
When I tried that config, I lost communication with the switch after removing VLAN1 from all ports.
I have tried to keep it simple and only test with one vlan, vlan10.
Here is what I have done.
I still cannot get vlan 10 to pass through the switch. I made vlan10 tagged and untagged on port 1. I have also removed vlan1 from port 1. Vlan 10 is tagged on ports 4&5 and untagged on ports 2&3. moving between ports 3 and 4 make no difference.
I want to setup ports 2-5 so they are access ports for vlans I assign. Port 1 would be an uplink. If I plug into port 2 (VLAN10) I would get an IP from VLAN 10. If I plug into port 3/4 (VLAN80) I would get an IP from VLAN 80.

Re:Setting up VLAN tagging on ports
I use TL-SG108E in this example, but steps are identical for TL-SG105E.
Step 1: Create VLAN 10, assign port 2 as an untagged member. Create VLAN 80, assign ports 3-4 as untagged members, too:
Step 2: Go to PVID settings, assign port 2 the PVID 10 and ports 3-4 the PVID 80. You need to do this in order to be able to remove them from the default VLAN in the next step:
Step 3: Now assign port 1 as a tagged member of VLAN 10 and 80 and remove ports 2-4 as members of VLAN 1 (check "Not member"). Leave ports 1 and 5 untagged in VLAN 1 so you don't get disconnected on port 1 (or use another port):
Port 2 is now a member of VLAN 10, untagged Ethernet frames will be assigned to VLAN 10 due to the PVID setting and are being forwarded to port 1 only.
Ports 3-4 are members of VLAN 80, untagged frames will be assigned VLAN 80 and are being forwarded to port 1, too.
Port 1 is a trunk port, tagged frames will be forwarded to the members of the appropriate VLAN (VID10-> port 2, VID80-> ports 3-4, untagged frames-> port 5).
Port 5 is still on VLAN1, frames will be forwarded to port 1 only.
BTW: If you want your router connected to the trunk port 1 also process tagged frames for VLAN 1, assign port 1 as a tagged member of VLAN 1, too. But use another port different from port 1 to connect to the switch when configuring this, else you will get disconnected as soon as you apply this setting.
Remember to save the config.
