I would like some assistance with configuration. I haven't had to use managed switches for over a year and it's my first time using TP-Link units.

I have five SG3210's with fibre sfps connecting them, and one router connecting to ADSL. I have a second ADSL router to use to split my services / topology, into two networks.

So, copper ports 1-4 across all switches should talk to each other and adsl router 1, while copper ports 5-8 talk to each other and adsl router 2.

The vlan switch port access bit I think I can do, the commands look like some cisco stuff I did couple of years back, but I assume I need to set vlan trunking on the sfp interfaces which I am a bit lost on.

Unfortunately the units are at a remote, live site so I don't get to play and experiment. I can see the TP-Link site has instructions for setting this up using a graphical front end but I've not set ip address's on each of the switches yet, so everything is over CLI.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using both SFP ports together as an etherchannel/bond/whatever is called here?
