I Thank You for being clear, organized and how easy it is to follow your steps. I have been working on wiring my house for 10G. I can't count how many mistakes and resets, and buying another piece of equiptment. Im not schooled in IT, it's a hobby. Thanks again.
This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a TL-SG108PE powering a EAP 245 and was looking for a way to segregate the network for our personal devices, IoTs and a guest network.
Hey Cody, nice video, can you make one to show management vlan configuration on omada equipment and explain it in details. I’m stuck on it Thanks for your job and continue this way
It would have been better if you'd have explained the difference (for TP-Link Omada config) between an interface and a vlan during the definition of a network. As far as I know, an interface is a vlan with also an IP, which is used for routing (by default enabled) between that and other vlans, while a simple vlan involves no IP and routing. Theoretically, it is possible to have multiple vlans without the need to have gateway IPs for them, by implementing asymetric vlan switching, but I am not sure if TP-Link supports this. Hence, the normal way would be to defined interface vlans, assign router IPs to them and if you need to limit inter-vlan traffic you can create deny ACLs. What do you think? BTW, as far as I can tell by looking at the firewall config, the guest network check does not implement ACLs on the firewall, as you say; only IP-based switching filters. BTW2: all network profile does not specify in my view trunking; just native vlan 1 switching and no tagging.
Thanks for a great video! BTW, it seems like there's a missing step on "Switch Settings" to enable VLANs: Switch Settings->Config->VLAN Interface->Enable (slider per VLAN).
Hi.. I am trying to set up a complete set of Omada devices. However, I wrongly got a SWITCH that is not an manageable by Omada. Can I still apply different VLANS on different Ports of the switch? This mainly for bandwith control purposes. Thank you very much. I have watched this vid a hundred times already.
The router itself can create up to 4 differences VLANs with bandwidth control for each ports. So, you can just buy 4 un-managed switch to connect with each port and do what you want.
Can Unifi please wake up and give us the same features! 😡 We have been asking for wired limits for ages and here comes the new kid on the block, copies everything Unifi has, both hardware and software, and provides features out the box missing from Unifi for years. If Unifi does not wake up - they will lose a large portion of a very devoted customer base to the competition! Thx for the great video Cody!
Thanks for the video. When you setup your guest SSID you said you ticked guest mode so they can only talk to the internet. Im finding clients on the guest network can see each others airplay devices and some have reported being able to pause/cancel casting channels of other clients also on the guest network. TP link have confirmed guest mode does not stop airplay, im not sure how this is an acceptable feature for guest/client networks. Could you possibly suggest a fix or work around? Thanks!
I have the tplink tl-r605 and I cant stop inter vlan routing. I dont have a omada enabled switch, but it does support Vlans (TL-SG1016PE) im using luxul ap's with a controller and 192.168.1.1/24 can talk to 192.168.2.1/24 ?
Do you need the TP-Link Omada Cloud Controller for traffic shaping to limit the bandwidth to each access point? Or does the tplink eap 225 come with that feature by default?
Hi My friend Gread Video i have the same products 1.TL-R605 v1.0 , 2.T1500G-10PS v2.0 , 3.T1500G-8T v2.0 , 4. 2xEAP225(EU) v3.0 . I setup like your video but the vlans not working on wifi no give dhcp to my client .
thanks for very informative video. I had a small doubt. While limiting the bandwidth in the wireless section; does it have the option to limit IP wise or individual client wise? thanks :)
I have the 605/ and I’m currently using the software controller, as my full setup. Partnered up, Using my previous wired switches (different brands) and access points(wireless) different brands). It’s all working as setup currently, but I want to add vlans for security, as I continue to see my iot devices in my home needing much higher security protocols. Can I follow basically this same vlan type setup, as you do in beginning here? But specifically per MAC id set devices to chosen vlans? Or would I have to also get omada wireless and wired devices additionally first? Or can I not specifically split these per device/devices into set vlan groups based on MAC ID? Hopefully this makes sense to someone, thanks for any input.
Setting the interface as LAN only prevented DHCP from working on any of the created networks. I had to also select WAN/LAN1 to get an IP address on any network. (Except the default admin network)
Does this limit the total bandwidth to/from a particular network, or per user? For example, if you went from one user to two users, would each user get half the bandwidth, or would the bandwidth usage double? Is this what the "shared / individual" mode does?
Hello from Austria! I like the way you did your Videos. I want to ask you if it is possible that you make one about Sonos speakers, I mean the configuration when you have the Sonos speaker in the IoT vlan and the Sonos controller in the LAN or in an other vlan? Greetings from Austria.
Found out the hard way TP Link AP's don't support mDNS...as a home user this was disappointing. May go with UniFi but I really preferred the simplicity of TP Link's menu's
Can always get a cheap PC (i see a bunch on ebay for ~$100) and let it do the work of resetting your dynamic IP. Or a raspberry pi for $35. Lots of options! But yes, it would be nice to have mDNS support.
Woah, TP link is a straight up copycat of ubiquiti / unifi. Insane... Looking it up they also seem to copy unifi hardware design as well! Anywho, great tutorial
Ya it’s fairly similar. Other companies are going with this style of dashboard as well. They have a couple other features that unifi does not have ( wired bandwidth limit, multiple ips)
I was unable to set up a rate limited on my guest network as I don,t have aTP-link router. When I enable the option it complains that there's no available WAN port. Anyone found a way around this?
I don't really understand why you would create a VLAN and subnet together. A VLAN is basically just a virtual subnetted LAN. I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Wouldn't it make sense to simply create 3 subnets 10.1, 20.1, and 30.1. Then create VLANs within those subnets only if you need to further compartmentalize. I get that a VLAN is on layer 2 and using both at the same time can give you added security and isolation, however is it really necessary? Seems redundent. Especially for the smaller companies that would consider using TPlink anyway. These devices would never be used at a coorporate level where you would complicate the network in that way to gain extra layers of security. Also, i get that the use of subnets requires physical devices and that used to be expensive. However, managed switches have become extremely inexpensive. 16port managed switch is like $49.99.
