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:

Sweet lord, I can't even begin to express how bad this design is. I am seriously questioning the sanity of the developer/tester that approved this. Surely there must be some person within the development team that objected to this turd of a design? Give that person a promotion!
A switch with it's management interface connected to every VLAN is just bonkers.
I purchased this switch as a cheap and small extention of our SMB network for testing purposes. Given I've got our ISP (public) subnet on a particular VLAN which is also in this switch this is very unsafe. So it seems once again; you pay peanuts, you'll get monkeys.
Oh well.. Back to Cisco and HP.
I wouldn't recommend this particular Netgear product to anyone.
I've also got a GS108T which seems more robust. I haven't been able to test my GS105E because it seems faulty.
Ok, I got my GS105Ev2 working and it has the same flaw.
It seems the insecure management issue is present in the GS***E ProSafe switches.
