Hi
I have created a document which I am now sharing with the community to hopefully save other people having to go through the problems I had. I am not a Google fan so I have shared a file through my Microsoft One-Drive. Click on the link to read the full document which is illustrated with many screen shots and includes the finally network diagram.
Go to Link to How I setup the VLANs
I could never have done this without the help of netgear support because they pointed me in the right direction but did not do it for me. I have to know how to do it myself so that I can repeat it again. Thanks for the support I have had from Netgear and despite the glitches I mentioned I would definitely use them again, mainly because of the huge price advantage compared to Cisco and HP Switches. However I still think Smart Switches are harder to work with than using a comand line and it takes a lot longer because of having to constantly refresh the webpage!
Hi Dantech-1,
Is everything now working fine?

Hi DaneA
When I restarted the switch I had noticed that the switch settings for the management VLAN had changed. The switch took on the IP address of VLAN 10 and yet I could web manage the switch on that IP address! It had also changed the management VLAN setting to VLAN 10 instead of VLAN 300. I had connected my Netgear GS-108T v2 to the GS728TP to test the VLANs and to check that a device in a VLAN on the 2nd switch (GS108T) could ping a device in the same VLAN on the first switch. his all worked fine. What I could not do was get both switches set in VLAN 300 with the management VLAN set to 300 on both switches.
I need to do some more testing on this and I hope to put the firstswitch config onto the switch that is in the shop to test it for real. We had an issue with the new TP-Link router overheating from new and I can't fully test it until this has been replaced under warranty by TP-Link.
Hi Dantech-1,
Were you able to set it all up inside the shop? If yes, is everything working fine?

Hi
We are still waiting for TP-Link to replace the faulty overheating router and cannot do anything until that arrives. They have accepted it as faulty and we are awaiting delivery. I will post back on the forum when I can implement it for real in the Shop/Office
