Great video, the clearest and concise VLAN explanation on TH-cam! Everyone should start with this video. You should cut out that part and make it a separate video. All the other videos are busy trying to explain multiple switch connections and what not.
I have really appreciated your knowledgeable QNAP tutorials (in my case QGD-1600P and QGD-3014) and found this video since I own a TP-Link TL-SG1024DE managed switch. Glad i have subscribed to your channel and will recommend it to colleagues.
Isn't a managed switch a switch that you can... manage? This one has web interface, supports a bunch of protocols like LAG, port VLAN and etc that unmanaged switch wouldn't?
802.1Q VLAN of this switch drove me crazy! My setup is Asus AC68U router -- TL-SG1016DE -- TP-Link A7 router for better WiFi coverage. After I made 2 VLANs with TL-SG1016DE I lost WiFi connection with android devices from TP-Link A7 router.
I have that one. I like it. Except it cannot do IEEE802.3ad what you actually need for your NAS. I set it on Static because the refresh of the DHCP is not always working properly. Actually, I just noticed that you have version 4.0 and I have version 3.0
Thanks for the feedback and I actually will be doing some testing on the the LAG features of the switch using my QNAP. On paper you are right but I want to see if there is any benefit at all. Thanks again.
@@MikeFaucher I have aggregated my TVS-872XT with all three ports. And some of my computers and router dual aggregated on it with LAG 1, 2 and 3. One of my computers is with the Intel I211 and I218 and then Teamed with the Intel PROset Adapter Configuration Utility but I can only use Static Link Aggregation there. I want to buy a 10Gbps switch one day if I have some money to spend for that.
@@michaelflamingsword3131 Thank you for the detail. I have a 10GbE QNAP managed switch and plan to try that as well but currently, I do not have any dual 10GbE devices on single.
Most switches are DHCP and you end up going to the router for the IP address. Great Point. Definetly a good value for a switch. Thanks for the feedback.
As near as I can tell the only difference is the 1016 is rack mountable and the 116 is a desktop or wall mount switch and does not come with rack mount brackets.
Hi Mike, Super simple explanation. Thank you. I am in the market and will purchase this switch, based on your video. As IoT is 2.4Ghz WiFi in most cases, how did you assign the IoT VLAN to your IoT devices?
Mike...It's me again! Trying to share one internet connection between two small homes (duplex) and create separate networks for each home. I love the Ubiquiti stuff but too expensive and already have multiple ASUS routers. Can I go from my Spectrum ISP modem...to a managed switch such as this, create my vLans at the switch and then feed each of two ASUS routers (in router mode) using a separate vLan to each ....and accomplish my two separate and independent networks (one in each home....the homes are separated by a party wall and are both very small) with both networks utilizing the one common ISP service? Again...I appreciate your videos and advice! Thanks Mike :)
Unfortunately I do not think that will work. VLAN definitions are setup from your firewall. This managed switch would not be able to segment the traffic and you would need something with layer 3 which are expensive. In my opinion, you should get one router like pfSense or dream machine and any managed switch and you will easily be able to accomplish that. Hope that helps.
Thank you MIke. In the scenario you describe above, can I use my two Asus routers (in AP mode) downstream of the managed switch each as wired switches (each on their own vLan & DHCP pool) and each as their own Wifi networks for each home? Thanks again....sorry to be such a pest!
Thank you. It can be confusing but after you do the first one it will make sense. I have a couple of videos on creating VLANs. Thanks for the feedback.
Nice video Mike. I am considering the PoE version sg1016pe (if i find one in decent time) or just add a PoE small switch to this, as i have 3 PoE cameras. How about port speed? I will need very fast LAN for large file exchange and backups (currently synology NAS with double link). Plus I also need to connect a couple ports to two wireless routers to bring signal to another part of the building. Do you advice this switch for such a small office network?
If all your clients are 1G then this will work great. if any of your clients are 2.5G or 10G then I would consider a faster switch. this is a great choice for 1G . Good luck and let me know.
@@MikeFaucher good point. Well, I have 1 or 2 access points upstairs (two separate apartments) that will likely go with wifi6... So i need at least 2 ports at 2.5 or 5 gbs
@@FrancescoGadaleta You will never need those speeds for WiFI. 1G is far more than you need for Wi-Fi 6. I meant hardwire clients only. Wi-Fi 6 may see if you are really lucky 700-800 but remember wifi is rated differently and only a single direction and there is heavy overhead in the process. A 1G switch is a full 1G in each direction.
@@MikeFaucher So you are saying that a gigabit port switch would be sufficient to top the wifi6 access point speed upstairs? If so then I think TP-Link TL-SL1218MP would be a good option for me and save some bucks wrt what I had in mind. Would love to know your thoughts Even the TP-Link TL-SG1016PE (which is the PoE version of yours) would be a great option for me, right?
Hi Mike, Thanks for the video. It was very informative on how to setup the VLAN. Got a quick question regarding this switch and it’s uplink to my router. I’m looking to setup a IOT net using VLAN with this switch, with it’s uplink to an ASUS Wireless router. This is so I can separate IOTnet from my main net and devices. All of my IOT devices will be wired to this switch. (TV,Sonos, aqara hub,etc.) In order to complete the network segregation will I need a wireless router that has VLAN support? or will I be able to get by with any router that has firewall rules config?
Great question. So basically once you have your switch configured, the uplink has to attach to a VLAN capable router meaning you have to be able to create a VLAN interface in your router so that the tagged traffic from your switch gets processed in the router correctly or you will not have communication. As for wireless, you have a choice, you can use any regular AP and plug it into the same VLAN based switch so that it is joined to that VLAN, or it you want to share an AP like in my setup, you need something like the UNIFI AP that lets you create multiple SSID so that you can create a dedicated SSID that is attached to the VLAN ID. Hope that helps.
Hey Mike, Many thanks for replying. I will be getting a TPlink wireless router with 802.1Q capabilities to get VLAN running to work with a smart TP link switch. I won’t be needing VLAN for my wireless as IOT devices are wired. I’m assuming in order to complete the separation I’ll have to set some firewalls rules for my IOT VLAN? Cheers! Stay safe
@@MikeFaucher Hi Mike, really appreciate the reply. It's all good now. I just realized I'm using TL-SG1016D without the E at the end. Which is an unmanaged switch. 😅
Hi Mike, very good video. Wondering if my gateway is in a different vlan than I want to put the switch if that is possible? How would I indicate the vlan that the switch is in, other than statically assigning the IP? Hopefully I've explained my question properly.
Typically you only have one gateway, and the switch is on that. VLANS are assigned to ports on the switch, but the Uplink from the switch to the gateway will allow the traffic to pass through. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question.
If I use this and create a VLAN for my CCTV and NVR, can I hotSwap my router without bricking my CCTV network? Will it automatically Learn that its not connected to a different WAN without a need to reconfigure or reboot?
To really understand it, I have one more question. After doing your configuration in tab "802.1Q VLAN" , why is it necessary to do it again on tab "802.1.Q PVID settings". It looks kind of like you're doing the same configuration on 2 different pages.On the first page it says: "VLAN 80 consists of 14,15,16", then on the 2nd page you say: "14,15,16 are part of VLAN80". Just wondering why this can't be automatic, or why it needs to be done twice. Would there be a reason why or when it wouldn't be the same on both pages ?
Great question. The main reason is that you can have multiple VLANs on a single port, or a port can be Tagged and untagged or can be a stand-alone port.. Setting up the VLANs in the switch and how you want to assign them to the ports are two different things.
PVID (Primary VLAN ID) is a setting that you can configure on a per-port basis. It specifies the VLAN that untagged frames will be assigned to when they are received on a particular port. So if you have a device that is not VLAN aware and it connects to a port that has a PVID of 10, then all the frames that it sends will be automatically tagged with VLAN ID 10.
Great info. I'm looking into getting two 24 ports unit same Tp-link series. My one question is how to set-up a trunk to share vlans to a remote (same model) switch. Is it possible ?
I have a question ... Do I understand that port 1 is shared between both VLANs ? This "smart switch" has been driving mad trying to set up different vlan / subnets but I was using the second option "port based vlan". Still need to try to use 3rd and 4th option.
Hello, thanks for sharing! I have a question about link aggregation in lag groups: I have a Dell Power Connect 2724 switch that has this function, but Qnap and Freenas don't recognize it, could it be because it doesn't use the lacp protocol? thanks again
Thanks for the feedback. It may be a configuration issue as well. I did a video using a QNAP NAS a while ago which may help (th-cam.com/video/Fiaj6sl_6WY/w-d-xo.html) but as I do not have access to a Dell 2724 I can't say for sure why it is not recognized. Sorry I could not be more help.
Have not tried their routers but I do like their switches. Great price and performance. Planning to look at their wifi later in the year. If your budget permits, consider a Unifi setup. More money but easier to maintain and set up.
Hi Mike, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a question please. I have 26 ethernet cable coming to the rack, so I'm planning to use 2 of those switches. is that possible? if so, will I just use an ethernet cable between the 2 switches? another question, i choose the managed switch in order to be able to turn off a specific port whenever i decide to do so. can i achieve that in unmanaged swithes as well? Thank you
Thanks for the feedback. To your first question, yes, you can just run a standard patch cable to connect up the switches, no special cable is needed. I would not chain to many switches together but it will work great. That is currently how I have mine. As for the managed or unmanaged question, both will work exactly the same and you can mix and match but you will only be able to control the managed switch. Hope that helps and good luck.
how do you set up a trunk port for like a access point where you want 3 vlans to go to access point basically in ciscio ios its a trunk allowed x,x,x ? Thanks for your time
The section starting at 4:40 walks you through it. TP link calls in an uplink which in my example is port 1. You can define any port to be an uplink(s) so if you want multiple VLNs exactly the same as you would with the uplink. For example, you can have VLAN 2 and 3 uplink to port 10, and 4, 5, and 6 to port 1. Both 1 and 10 would be uplinks. TP link does not have the easiest configuration when it comes to managed switches. Hope that helps.
If I set vlan 1 port 14,15,16 to not member, i cant access internet, this is my first time doing vlan, didnt do all tag or untagged thing, my isp router doesnt support tag or, i cant found it (ZTE F670L), but if I didnt change it, i can access internet. any idea? or what should i looking for?
You have have to setup the tag and untagged ports which should have nothing to do with your provider as your modem is on the WAN side of your router and VLANs are internal only (LAN). You have to set it very similar to what is outlined on the video for it to work.
I have the unmanaged version. Is it possible to run the input signal off of the wireless? My router is in the house, but I want to set up an operation in the detached garage. no easy way to run ethernet to it.
Yes, you can use something like this (th-cam.com/video/3l_JQdUfyH8/w-d-xo.html). There are faster versions from different companies depending on your needs. Hope that helps.
Does anyone know if this switch will allow me to manage 2 ISP inputs and balance them across the network? I was hoping to be able to also set it up so that when one goes down all traffic switches to the one that is working? I sounds like I may need a better device, but was hoping it was possible since I have a new one here.
Does this switch support VLAN trunking ? Let's say I want to create 4 VLANs and put 2 VLANs on port 2 and another 2 on port 3. Will it allow me to do that ?
So are the ports automatically Isolated for traffic or is it the job that the firewall recognizes those vlans and applies the isolation rules to pass through to the switch?
@@MikeFaucher I have Bitdefender Total Security.. Do I set up VLANs in Bitdefender as it is my firewall for my laptop, or does my Netgear RAX50 router have firewall options?
My question is because I am gonna up my home network when getting fiber in a month. Just can't imagine 32 ports for my needs in the house 😁. However, I'm buying this switch and an access point for cellphone's. At the moment i will need 8 ports for wired connections. And i like i can upgrade my outdoor camera to one with Poe for super easy setup instead of my current battery wifi cam (blink) Thanks
@@lollandz Sounds good. You are lucky you are getting fiber. I ended up getting switches for every room so I could minimize the use of WiFi even thought I have strong WiFi. WiFi will not take advantage of fiber.
Can you explain what you have tried? Are you running this exact model? What IP address are you using? The process I use is to go to my router and look at the DHCP reservation table on my router and find the switch IP and then type in to the browser 192.168.x.x.
@@MikeFaucher Thank you for your reply. Model Tl-SG1016PE. Following your instructions I have now found the IP of the switch, I entered this into my browser and now get the login page but I enter admin for username and password and get "this page isn't working 192*** didn't send any data ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE ?

have you try configuring vlan from qno ang tplink i cant configure i cant see any how to in the internet
Can you clarify your question. Thanks.
I have the unmanaged version. Is it possible to run the input signal off of the wireless? My router is in the house, but I want to set up an operation in the detached garage. no easy way to run ethernet to it.
Yes, you can use something like this (th-cam.com/video/3l_JQdUfyH8/w-d-xo.html). There are faster versions from different companies depending on your needs. Hope that helps.
@@MikeFaucher Thank you so much. I am just playing around with crypto and want my mining rig out of the house. So I don't need the gigabit connection.
Man how you connect to your switch,i tried with the ip adress and it's not working
Make sure you have the managed version of this switch and verify the ip from your router. That is the only way to access the switch.
Does anyone know if this switch will allow me to manage 2 ISP inputs and balance them across the network? I was hoping to be able to also set it up so that when one goes down all traffic switches to the one that is working? I sounds like I may need a better device, but was hoping it was possible since I have a new one here.
No it does not. You should use a router with load balancing and fail over. This mainly manages VLANs.
why can't I access the web interface?
You need to log into your router and see what the IP address is in the DHCP section. Type that IP in your browser and it should work.
Does this switch support VLAN trunking ? Let's say I want to create 4 VLANs and put 2 VLANs on port 2 and another 2 on port 3. Will it allow me to do that ?
Yes it will though it is not straightforward and assuming you have something at the other end that can receive two trunks.
So are the ports automatically Isolated for traffic or is it the job that the firewall recognizes those vlans and applies the isolation rules to pass through to the switch?
The VLANs have to be setup in your firewall first so everything meshes together.
@@MikeFaucher Awesome and most level 2 switches will be able to communicate that with the firewall set vlans?
@@Catge Yes they will.
@@MikeFaucher great. I appreciate your response
@@MikeFaucher I have Bitdefender Total Security.. Do I set up VLANs in Bitdefender as it is my firewall for my laptop, or does my Netgear RAX50 router have firewall options?
Does this switch support managment for a PPPoE connection?
This is only a layer 2 switch and only routes VLANs.
whether the switch has passive cooling??
Passive, it is completely fanless. Thanks for the question.
how to log in into the switch? please help
Find the IP address of your device in the router and type it into your browser and the admin screen should come up.
You use 2 of them in your home ?
What du you use 32 ports for?
They are being used in two parts of the house. I just moved them to each entertainment center.
My question is because I am gonna up my home network when getting fiber in a month.
Just can't imagine 32 ports for my needs in the house 😁.
However, I'm buying this switch and an access point for cellphone's.
At the moment i will need 8 ports for wired connections.
And i like i can upgrade my outdoor camera to one with Poe for super easy setup instead of my current battery wifi cam (blink)
Thanks
@@lollandz Sounds good. You are lucky you are getting fiber. I ended up getting switches for every room so I could minimize the use of WiFi even thought I have strong WiFi. WiFi will not take advantage of fiber.
Could you help me connect to the web interface,I have tried different browsers ??
Can you explain what you have tried? Are you running this exact model? What IP address are you using? The process I use is to go to my router and look at the DHCP reservation table on my router and find the switch IP and then type in to the browser 192.168.x.x.
@@MikeFaucher Thank you for your reply. Model Tl-SG1016PE. Following your instructions I have now found the IP of the switch, I entered this into my browser and now get the login page but I enter admin for username and password and get "this page isn't working 192*** didn't send any data ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE ?
Ok I have got it now, thanks so much for your help
@@davidwinter4693 Try a hard reset on the switch and double check they have not changed the default username and password.
hi is it compatible to omada controller? oc200?
It does not appear on their list so you may have to contact them. I do not use the OC200 so I have no way to check but my guess is that it does not.
support snmp?
No, not on this model.

Thanks!
no segregation 😂
is it too early for race jokes 😮
Agreed.
