What is the most reliable process to change my wired sonos system to a new VLAN

I am running a 19 speaker Sonos system with mixed devices (old and new). One speaker (Sonos One) is directly wired to my managed network switch (Port 6, VLAN1 - Default). Hence all speakers are WM:0 (except my Move 2 - WM:1). My Sonos App connects to my WLAN with SSID “xyz” (VLAN1). I prepared a new WLAN with SSID “123” which is VLAN10

In order to separate Sonos from my IoT Net I want to move the Sonos System to VLAN10. What is the most reliable and easiest way to do that?

Follow these instructions carefully, in order, when setting up a new network for Sonos, ensure the controllers are on same VLAN as the players/speakers:

I would setup another port for you new VLAN, then you can just repatch Sonos at the relevant point in the above instructions.
