Configuring a Management VLAN

Learn how to configure a management VLAN using #OPNsense, a #TPLink network switch, and a #Grandstream wireless access point. I have been receiving an increase in questions on how to create a management VLAN so I thought this would be a great topic to cover since all of my guides to date use the default VLAN 1 as the management network (which I always note that you have to ensure you don't allow untrusted devices on that default network by assigning unused ports on the switch to a different VLAN such as the GUEST VLAN).
