I've been raking my brain researching on opnsense written tutorials and what videos I can find, but I'm having some issues putting VLANS into practise.TO see if I have understood this correctly as follows:

I'm aware of what trunk ports are and how they are used in VLAN aware router to switch scenarios. Although I'm not sure how to utilize it with my current switch because I can only extrapolate so much from written review, and I'm *very in need* of a tuturial for my SG2210XMP-M2 tplink switch, But I cannot for the life of me find a video tutorial of how I would setup vlans to with with opnsense. I'm struggling here, so I'll do the best to show my current switch configuration. What do I need to do here?

Have you setup VLANs on your OPNsense already?

If you do use VLAN-Interfaces on your OPNsense: Set the ports on the switch that are connected to the OPNsense to tagged, as the switch now expects already VLAN tagged packets.
If you do not use VLAN-Interfaces on OPNsense: Set the ports on the switch that are connected to the OPNsense to untagged, as the switch now expects untagged packets and will tag them when they are processed.
