TL-SG2008P - Having trouble correctly passing vlan tag traffic across the switch
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my new TL-SG2008P switch to handle vlan traffic successfully.
I have 3 EAP245 APs running through an Edgerouter X. Everything TP-Link related is managed through the Omada controller software. I recently created a new SSID on the APs and assigned it VLAN 10. The one AP that's connected directly to the Edgerouter works correctly: the devices that connect to it via the new SSID get assigned the right IP address based on VLAN 10 and the DHCP server on the router. But the other two APs that are connected to the switch do not allow any client to connect via the new VLAN SSID.
Previously I was using cheap, unmanaged switches and I thought getting a proper managed one would simply allow VLAN tags to work unhindered, but apparently it's more involved than just that. I attempted to create a port profile that indicated it should be configured as tagged, but setting doesn't seem to stick. What am I missing to get this to work correctly?
Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Here's a screenshot of the port profile. I tried checking All under the the "Tagged Networks" option, but it never saves. And the LAN network is greyed out.
Is traffic on the default management VLAN (1) forced to be untagged? I came across this article and I suspect moving the mgmt vlan to something else might solve my problem and allow me to enable tagging on specific ports via a port profile. (You can see I started adding a new network based on that article but didn't enable it yet.) Am I on the right track?
Edit: Also a possible concern: I have the Omada software running in a Docker container on a Raspberry Pi, along with quite a few other important things. If I follow the directions found in that article and move the Raspberry Pi to the newly configured MGMT LAN port on the switch, will everything still be accessible to me on the main network? Or will I need to take some steps to ensure I don't lose access?
