TP-LINK TL-SG2218 is a managed Gigabit switch with 16 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports, 2 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 2 Gigabit SFP ports. The device provides high performance, QoS functionality, advanced security policies and numerous second layer management features. This Gigabit switch TL-SG2424 is a multifunctional solution for medium and small businesses.
The TL-SL2218 managed switch has a range of second layer management features to extend application capabilities including 802.1Q VLAN support, port isolation, port mirroring, STP/RSTP/MSTP, port aggregation and 802.3x flow control. In addition, maintenance features such as loop back connection detection, cable diagnostics and IGMP snooping are available. IGMP snooping allows intelligent multicast streaming only to specific subscribers, while IGMP throttling and IGMP filtering restrict access to multicast for unwanted users.

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology configured according to a logical rather than a physical scheme. Hosts in the same VLAN communicate with each other as if they were in a LAN. However, hosts in different VLANs cannot communicate directly with each other.
Now let's learn how to configure a VLAN tag on smart switches in the following example:
For this example, a 16-port TL-SG2216WEB was used.
Switch A must be connected with the network cable to port 1 of switch B. To access the Internet, connect Switch A (16 port) to the TL-R480T using the network cable.
Connect the finance department computers to ports 2-8 of switch A and to ports 2-8 of switch B. The computers used in the finance department connect to ports 9-14 of switch A and 9-14 of switch B.
That's for the purpose:
1 Enabling communication between financial department computers.
2 Enabling communication between the computers of the sales department.
3 Enabling communication between the computers of the financial department; blocking connection between the computers of the commercial department.
4 Providing Internet access via the TL-R480T+ router to computers in the financial and commercial department.
Configuration of VLAN parameters:
To do this, 3 VLANs must be configured: VLAN2,VLAN3,VLAN4.
To realize point 1, a VLAN2 network must be created (network identifier = 2):
Switch A:
Port:port1-8.16.
The frame on port 1 is marked Add Tag, the others: Drop Tag.
Default VIDs: 2. Default sweat PVIDs 2-8: 2.
Switch B:
Port :port1-8
The frame on port 1 is marked Add Tag, the others: Drop Tag.
Default VIDs: 2. Default sweat PVIDs 2-8: 2.
To realize point 2, a VLAN3 network must be created (network identifier = 3):
Switch A:
Port:port1,9-14,16
The frame on port 1 is marked Add Tag, the others: Drop Tag.
Default VIDs: 3. Default sweat PVIDs 9-14: 3.
Switch B:
Port :port1,9-14.
The frame on port 1 is marked Add Tag, the others: Drop Tag.
Default VIDs: 3. Default sweat PVIDs 9-14: 3.
Thanks to the creation of VLAN2 and VLAN3 networks, the project has also been realized. 3.
To realize point 4, a VLAN4 network must be created (network ID = 4). Port identifier 16: 4.
Switch A:
Port:port1-14.16.
The frame on port 1 is marked Add Tag, the others: Drop Tag. Default VIDs: 4.
Switch B:
Port:port1-14.
The frame on port 1 is marked Add Tag, the others: Drop Tag. Default VIDs: 4.
The following describes the configuration of switch A:
Part I: VLAN port operating mode settings:
Select VLAN Setting->VLAN Mode and check Tag VLAN(802.1Q Tag VLAN).
Part II: Configuration of VLANs:
Select VLAN Setting->Tag VLAN Setting and specify the VLAN parameters.
The Tag VLAN Setting page contains an array of VLAN parameters assigned to the ports. The selected ports belong to specific VLANs.
Step 1: Select VLAN 2.
Step 2: Select the ports belonging to VLAN 2. Then press the submit button.
Step 3: Specify the VLAN 3 and VLAN 4 parameters. Press the submit button.
Part III: General settings for VLAN tags
Select VLAN Setting->VLAN Globe Setting VLAN tag and specify the PVID parameters.
The PVID assigns a VLAN ID to unreported packets. On the VLAN Globe Setting Tag page, specify the PVID for the ports.
The configuration of switch A is complete.
Configuration of switch B
Configure switch B in the same way as switch A. The following page shows the VLAN Global Setting Tag page of switch B.
The network has been configured as intended.
