Workaround to Block or Disable Unused Ports on ER7212PC?
Hi all,
Does anyone know a way to block or shut down unused ports on the TP-Link ER7212PC? I'm using an EAP683 AP, and my setup is fairly simple, I apply rate limiting per client since we're on a metered WAN connection.
However, someone managed to bypass this by connecting their own Wi-Fi AP directly to the switch, creating a private network at the site. This caused the monthly data quota to be exhausted.
Is there any workaround or method to disable unused Ethernet ports on the ER7212PC to prevent this?
Thanks in advance!

\there are a number of methods
You can do the above and assign an empty vlan to the port
You can disable the port (if your router and controller both have v5.15 adaptations)
You can add a MAC filter to only allow certain devices (Site > Settings > MAC filtering)
You can do all of the above in standalone mode as well

Yep, its a nice little additional setting.
You can also now remove the default lan entirely from a router poirt if you set another vlan as the default pvid, you can then edit the default lan and it will let you entirely remove it from the port!

but I see that the latest firmware must be used on routers, on the ER707-M2 I cannot change the default vlan port, nor can I disable the port on the router
