Configuring a VLAN on a network switch involves defining network segments and assigning devices to them.
Configuring a VLAN on a network switch involves defining network segments and assigning devices to them.
I recently purchased a TL-SG108E. I changed the VLAN assignment on the wan port to bypass my previous router. I’m trying to figure out how to do that on the switch. I was a bit puzzled when I saw the untagged and tagged ports, and I’m not very comfortable with networking. The picture shows what I did—I’m not sure if it’s correct.
VLANs are transmitted between devices by attaching a “tag” to the Ethernet frame. This means the port sends and receives traffic for that VLAN with the correct tag, and vice versa. The device connected to the port recognizes VLANs and is set to use 102. Untagged traffic entering the switch without a VLAN tag will be placed in that VLAN, while traffic leaving the port in that VLAN won’t carry a tag. I’m uncertain about your goal, so I can’t suggest a specific configuration.
