GS108Ev3 Cannot set VLAN for management interface
I just purchased a GS108Ev3 because I needed some simple VLAN segregation for a small group of machines "down the hall" from my core networking equipment. The switch works great, though there is one ...
Hi chulio,
Welcome to the community! :)
I think this is by design and not a limitation of the GS108Ev3 since its category is a ProSAFE Plus Gigabit switch which adds a configuration layer to the standard unmanaged switch.
For the alternative, I recommend you the GS108Tv2 or GS110TP switches.To know more about the GS108Tv2 and GS110TP switches, check these links below:

Same issue, for my 3x GS108e v3 it doesn't even work for VLAN 1 !
(if a second or third VLAN are tagged on the same port), no GUI management possible.
It seems the GS108e takes the VLAN with the fastest DHCP server and then you get an IP you can use for GUI management.
Is there a solution in the meantime for the GS108e ?
Or which alternative product provides that functionality ?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Best chulio

I am very disappointed that this handicapping of configuration is considered a design decision or a "feature" as referred to earlier. I can't help but feel it is merely a cop-out to encourage the purchase of a higher end unit. Even though most other smart switches at this level have the configuration option that is missing here.
Hello waheuler,
Welcome to the community!
I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment on the product. In defense to that, just like what we have mentioned on our previous replies this is a single step from unmanaged switches. It is intended for networks with little or no management needed. These switches have different chipsets and memory that is why we cannot fit everything on this unit.
Thanks,
Yeah, right. This is not a hardware issue.
