Remove Second DHCP MAnagement IP
Hello Everyone, we have multiple Netgear switches (3300, 5300, 4300... - current firmware) and on most of them we have the same behavior. Let's say we have two networks. One is the main offi...
The Netgear managed switches provide management ACLs on the in-band of course - the management for the switch can be either OOB, or Management VLAN on the in-band, or a specific hardware interface (port) on the in-band too. For the last two, ACLs can be put in place.
The VLAN subnet iP address is required for features different from the switch management, being monitoring, troubleshooting, routing, ... as such it's not a pure management address. The beauty of managed switches is in the fact that much more is under the admin control than on the average Web Managed Smart switches.
I am not sure if I understand your reply - I am looking for a way to prevent my Netgear Switches from creating a second management IP via DHCP on connected VLAN 1 after I created a fixed IP on another VLAN.
Again, this isn't a secondary management IP as you know from some junky consumer router designs. Technically, these switches have by default an IP address on the OOB and in-band networks. If you don't want the management capabilities, you need to put ACLs in place (by network, by port).
By rule of thumb - considering the full config is accessible - I would guess it should be possible to disable it completely if you have no other dependency (L3 routing, DHCP, ...).
