Welcome to the Community!
Thank you for reporting this issue with the GS116Ev2
What browser are you using when accessing the admin page and making changes? Have you tried accessing it on a different workstation and browser and see if it has the same issue?
Hi,
i should have done more basic troubleshooting instead of going after the firmware.
I have issues in Firefox (101.0-1) but it behaves as expected in Chromium (102.0.5005.61-1)
Can I ask why the (forced) use of a different browser makes this bug solved? In my humble opinion, the bug description was not compete and instead of 'Switch crashes when trying to set a description on a port', the description should be 'Switch crashes when trying to set a description on a port with Firefox'. That is still a bug.
I encounter the same issue and other issues (also with Firefox 101.0.1) with FW 2.6.0.48.
Trying to set a fixed IP-address gives the same result (switch crashed, only solution is a factory reset).
Trying to remove vlan 1 completely and changing the last port to a different PVID than vlan 1 (switch crashed, only solution is a factory reset).
When trying to change a ports PVID, I have to select the port that I want to change + the port before that port. Only select the required port results in a no change.
So, if I want to change the PVID of ports 2 and 3, I have to select ports 1, 2 and 3, choose the desired vlan and click apply. Magically only port 2 and 3 get the new PVID, port 1 stays untouched. (when I only select port 2 and 3, only the PVID of port 3 changes and port 2 stays untouched....)
Nobody stated that neither any bug were fixed, or issues are resolved.
Either way, it's odd the issue does show up with with FF, probably just with FF on a specific platform (Windows?, MacOS?, Linux?), while Chromium does not show a certain issue. Marc_V please check with switch engineering and QA after querying sufficient information. have some ideas, but I'm just a user here, have no GS116Ev2 at hand.
I use Linux Mint 20.2 as OS and FF 101.0.1 as browser.
Switch is a Netgear GS116Ev2 with (the latest) FW 2.6.0.48.
Wild idea: Try your mobile phone or tablet Web browser!
