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.

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

:cool::eek:You are very Smart, I will send email to tp-link also, hope they can change this mechanism.

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.
