Management vLAN on PLUS switch
Hi All, I have four Netgear Plus Managed switches around my home, not from a capacity need but more just ease of placement Vs having a larger switch in a central location and having to cable everyth...
In case the VLAN carrying the Plus switch admin traffic is coming as [T]agged to the Plus switch, the Plus switch config Web UI (and the NSDP protocol) won't be able to discover and manage the Plus switch.
The workaround is simple: Keep the traffic you intend to use for the Plus switches management Subnet VLAN as untagged - so avoiding the IP subnet traffic does come over tagged frames to the Plus switches.
Sorry if this is to brief, I'm about on giving up my free unpaid support to the community here, because Netgear is unwilling to valuate and compensate (time, effort, network resources, power, ...) what we are doing here. The model of providing some free NFR (unsellable) Netgear devices does not compensate for out private investment in time and resources.
Here again, most o the Plus switches are not built on managed cores. Thetiny uC will see all IP traffic on untagged frames, nothing you can do to change. In its heart it's an unmanaged switch with some configuration options.
