VLAN not working or am I doing it wrong?
Hello all,
I'm quite new to TP-Link switches and also quite new to VLANs. However, I wanted to dip my toe into the waters of VLAN and decided to learn more about it. However, I really do not understand it, or I'm doing something terribly wrong. The fact that the firmware and GUI has changed, but the manuals haven't, do not make it any easier to understand.
I have a network here with this switch. Port 1 is my computer, port 2 is my printer. Both get an IP from my DHCP server. Everything is standard, so all ports are in untagged VLAN-1 and all is working well.
I created a new VLAN, called DATA_100 (VLAN ID 100). I place port 1 and 2 in there, untagged and remove the printer from VLAN-1. I'm my mind that means the printer is now ONLY untagged in VLAN-100. My personal PC is in both VLAN-1 and VLAN-100, untagged.
However, I can't ping my printer, as soon as I remove it from VLAN-1. But aren't both devices untagged in VLAN-100? Shouldn't they see and therefor be able to ping eachother?
Is something wrong with my switch or am I missing an important step here?
