GS724Tv4 VLAN Routing

NetGear Community,

 

I have a NetGear GS724Tv4 24 Port Gigabit Smart Switch in which I have configured 4 VLANS.

 

I am only using VLAN1 and VLAN4 with VLAN 2 | VLAN3 as the default VLAN's

(VOIP, etc.)

 

VLAN1 [ Management VLAN ]      Port 24         (Untagged)

VLAN4 [ Network access ports ]   Ports 1 ~ 14 (Untagged)

 

I have accessed the Server Log screen to allow the switch to send log messages to a dedicated syslog server on the same network.

 

I have tested the reception of UDP packet data on port 514 from the NetGear GS724Tv4 Smart switch using tcpdump.

 

The issue is that the syslog server has only one ethernet card and must receive network packets/data from VLAN 4 as well as from VLAN1 to meet DISA STIG Requirements of logging NetGear GS724Tv4 server log events.

 

I understand that VLAN1 (Management VLAN) cannot be part of a routed VLAN.

 

Is there a configuration scheme for the NetGear GS724Tv4 switch which will allow receiving network packets from both VLAN1 and VLAN4 on ethernet interface eth0?

 

I would assume an alternate plan is to install a separate ethernet card on the syslog server dedicated to receiving NerGear switch logging events via UDP.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have traversed the internet searching for a viable solution.

 

Thank you.

    This place is for talk about SMART Wi-Fi, General and Legacy Routers. While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    Smart / Plus / Click Switches - NETGEAR Communities

    You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    Check for various troubleshooting tips.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

      Michael,

       

      Thank you for reaching out.

       

      I have read the user's manual for the GS724Tv4 Smart switch and not found a solution. I also believe it may be my naive understanding of Smart switches and lack thereof.

       

      Thanks again.
