thanks for your reply I found already this doc and tried to follow it even i don't have only the oc200, the switch and some EAP but not a gateway.

i also found in one doc what default vlan 1 can't be change... but i think this is the think i need to do... i'm verry confused by this... i thought i understand vlans but this make me feel i didnt unterstand it even partialy :(

  @ASD_AuZ the gateway is not needed.  There are two basic config items to make it work.  One is the PVID needs to be set to your management VLAN on the port that connects to your oc200 (set in the Port Profile).  The second is that the management VLAN interface needs to exist on the switch with the Management VLAN option enabled (set in the switch's VLAN intrface config).  After you confirm that you can access it via the management VLAN the default VLAN interface on the switch can be disabled.  The configuration article shows this although the screen shots looked a little dated.

Hi,

thanks for your reply
I maybe did it not the correct way but i got it working by changing the vlan ID of the "default" vlan to 144

The correct way is the way that works. Just be aware that devices connected to the "default" VLAN will now be on what you consider your management VLAN.

  @ASD_AuZ , as long as you don't think you still have a management network...

 

Dealing with a management network is actually easier without a tp-link gateway because you don't have to tell the gateway where the controller is.

 

The article on MGMT VLAN is badly outdated. IME, batch config no longer allows you to set it.

And the UX is also quite different.

After you create the MGMT VLAN (not interface) in Site > Settings > Wired Networks > LAN, you need to prepare a port with the MGMT profile (to reconnect the OC after you've set the VLAN as MGMT for the switch).

Then click on the switch in Devices, go to the Config tab, VLAN Interface pane.

There, you need to enable the MGMT VLAN, edit it and enable Management VLAN. Apply then move the OC to the prepared port so the OC and switch can communicate again.

 

Note that if your OC and switch get IP via DHCP, you need to create an interface in your router to handle that for your management network and set up the uplink port of the switch as a trunk (All profile).

Or you can use compatible static IPs for each.
