      I have seen a couple of requests to configure the SG-1100 in "router on a stick" mode, with all three networks on one port. I have chosen to use the OPT port for this since:

      1. It is safer to do connected to LAN without being locked out
      2. The WAN and LAN ports will still function with untagged devices connected to them so the LAN port could be used to manage the device by simply connecting a laptop, etc. Normal operation would have the switch connected to only OPT with WAN and LAN disconnected.

      Connect and manage using the LAN port.

      Interfaces > Switches, VLANs

      Click Edit on VLAN Group 3 (4092). Check Tagged on Port 1. Save.

      Click Edit on VLAN Group 2 (4091). Add Member. Enter 1 and check Tagged. Save

      Click Edit on VLAN Group 1 (4090). Add Member. Enter 1, and check Tagged. Save

      Interfaces > Switch, Ports Click on PVID 4092. Change to 1. Save

      You can then connect a switch to OPT with VLANs 4090 (WAN), 4091 (LAN), and 4092 (OPT) tagged to it.

      If you need access to the webgui on LAN, you can just connect a laptop to LAN and you should receive DHCP (if configured) be able to access the WebGUI (if allowed) etc.

      It should look like this when you are finished:
