VLAN across multiple switches

2023-06-09 16:05:15

Model: TL-SG1210MPE

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: n/a

I have a simple need:

VLAN 1 to be used as is for all AP's (8) guest wireless

VLAN 2 to be used for Office Computers, IP phones

Problem:

I have 5 switch installations. All 5 switches will need VLAN 1 connectivity, but only switch 4 will use VLAN 2 connection.

Can this be achieved using one ethernet uplink between switches?

Thank you.

Do not use vlan 1, that should be a blackhole where traffic goes nowhere.
Switches should be in the administrative vlan, nothing else.
switch ports on the other hand may each have a different PVID or may pass or not pass certain vlans across. you can have different port profiles for that.
Do not put ip phones in the same vlan with computers. create a dedicated network segment with that.
yeah all that can be done just fine with the controller.
