GS308T Issue to create VLAN via GUI
I am sure I miss something but I am not even able to simply create / declare a VLAN. Here are my steps also illustrated with an image : 1) I enable VLAN Assignment Mode in Security - Port Authen...
Ok so, what is a workaround for that is using a numerical keypad.
The field VLAN ID does not accept other input, I tested on another machine with external keyboard and there the numerical keypad is recognized but using regular numerical keys does not work either.
Thanks a lot for your guidance schumaku, much appreciated !
Looks like the wrong view to Add a VLAN. Could not tell you right away without a switch to show, added post after I came home:
Have just an example of adding the VLAN 123 on a GS308E in Advanced 802.1q Mode - it's very similar in the other modes and models.
1. Head to the VLAN Configuration (here Advanced 802.1q mode):
Type the VLAN number to add in the VLAN ID input text field, then click [Add]
2. Head to the VLAN Membership
Select the VLAN just added, then you can assign the membership by clicking the port mode.
3. Last but not least, don't forget to define the PVID
Select the ports to define the PVID, type the VLAN ID, and use [Add]
Hope this clarifies 8-)
Have fun!
PS. Will ask a moderator to move this post away from the Managed Switches section, should be in the Plus and Smart Managed section instead.
Sorry for my confusion, it should not make any difference on the GS308T, both VLAN and name should be add-able, in both Basic and Advanced view:
Thanks a lot for the attempt !
I tried to play with the views as well but still the VLAN ID field does not accept any input, I still think I miss the way to enable the creation of VLAN somehow but it is not to be found in user manual.
I will continue to investigate.

Does not look that wrong to me my friend.
Can't type a VLAN ID in this form, or is it simply rejected?
What Web browser, what OS platform?
Assuming you are a newer customer for this GS308T. Don't hesitate to push this up to the support channel on https://my.netgear.com/ and don't forget to add a link to this community thread here.
Hello, unfortunately I am out of support on this product.
I use firefox and tried on safari as well, being on macOS 13.4.1.
It is not that the VLAN ID field rejects the input with any error, it has the following behavior :
- type alphabetical character (A to Z on keyboard) : character does not appear, seems logic that the ID does not accept these characters
- type numerical character (1 to 0 on keyboard) : character appears not capitalized, as you would see it without the shift key pressed, e.g. 1 is &, 2 is é, ...then dissapear when key is unpressed
VLAN Name field has no issue at all, or other fields in other forms.
I will continue looking at it...I am more looking at the field / form itself.
