TP-Link vlan questions
Hello,
I want to create vlans for security reasons, but allthough i am professional developer i have no experience on vlans. I have read the background of vlans and i made some experiments, with no success. In order to debug the problem and develop some familiarity with vlans i built the following lab.
- One computer connected to port 2, producing some icmp packets
- One computer connected to port 1 with wireshark monitoring the traffic
- TL-SG2008 as managed switch (the production switch will be T2600G-28MPS, but i cannot experiment on this)
- Mirroring both ingress and engress from port 2 to port 1
- I created a vlan with id 4
- port 2 has pvid 4
- port 2 also is a tagged member of vlan 4
As a result, the icmp packets that monitored has no vlan tag. I understand that something basic is missing to my understanding, but i have no clue what is it.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
