TL-SG108E (v2) question about (default) VLAN1

[R1D2]

Nice trick! Doesn't solve missing tag support on VLAN 1, but at least allows to limit VLAN 1 to certain ports. Kudos!

You are very Smart, I will send email to tp-link also, hope they can change this mechanism.

Not sure that need send to tp-link.
It not resolving any BUG. It HACK.
BUG not present, it TP-LINK marketing.... If not want fixed VLAN1, must buy other model of management switch.
Here my experiment with configure file.

I have sent the email to tp-link technical support team. They said they have feedback this demand to their RD engineer.
I do not know whether they will release the firmware, I will ask them some days later.
PS: Sometimes,I send email to tp-link global technical support team, not local technical support team.Their senior engineer may give accurate information.
But this one depends on luke also

All that can engineer do it post new firmware, where will be blocked store in configuration file information about VLAN1.
And in future trick with change configuration file will be disabled.

Oh, I don't think so. All the R&D needs is a little more pressure from the market. They are already losing customers to Netgear and Ubiquiti when it comes to small semi-managed switches because of the fixed Default_VLAN in TL-SG108E/PE. Changes are that TP-Link will probably re-consider this unlucky design decision, especially since it causes trouble even with TP-Link gear such as the EAPs.

Configuration file with changed one byte of configure file model TL-SG1016DE can't be flashed back. Check sum control may be.

Yes, I agree with you. Communication is important,If TP-LINK gets more feedback from different consumer, I think they will improve this switch(Besides the limitation in hardware).
