Run Starlink WAN connection over Managed Switch
I have 2 GS110TPV3 managed switches connected via multimode fiber. They are passing LAN traffic fine. I have plugged in my Starlink Router to Port 1 on the first switch, and have plugged Port 1 of the second switch to the WAN connection on my Peplink Balance One router.
The Starlink is not coming up on the Peplink router. I have created a VLAN 10 on both switches and assigned the VLAN to Port 1 on both switches, set to Trunking.
When I connect the fiber using media converters vs switches, it runs fine.
How do I isolate the Starlink WAN on the switches so that it runs just like it was on pt-pt media converters.
Thanks!

Hello glennnewc
Configure the two ports you intend to use for a Starlink "WAN" (there is no such thing if I'm not wrong, Starlink has a built-in NAT router) - this makes it behave very similar to a direct connection with media converters. Sure, this is a connection you can define as a WAN and bring it to the Peplink router NAT port.
- Define an additional VLAN 10 on both GS110TPv3.
- Assign it to a port on each of the serving as an Access Port only for the VLAN 10 (and no other VLAN like VLAN 1).
- Define the PVID on these two ports to 10, so untagged frames entering the switch via these two ports will be assigned to the VLAN 10.
That's all you have to do.

PS. These are Smart Managed switches, in no aspect Managed Switches - see the formal definition for the "GS110TPv3 - 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Smart Switch with 2 SFP Ports and Cloud Management". It's moved by a moderator to the appropriate community section already, the tags were adjusted accordingly.
