Re: Unable to sign into GS308E
I'm having some issues with this product. I recently purchased it and set it up last week. But as soon as I set it up via the admin page and enable Advance 802.1Q VLANs, then I'm no longer able to ...
Hi, thanks so much for getting back to me!
I'm a bit of a novice on this, so I'm not quite sure what the "Flat IP Network" is referencing, but I will try and look into that after I post this response.
I'm attaching a few screenshots, and please let me know what else you would like to see on the PFsense side (or anything else).
2 of the shots are examples of me being able to access the web interface of 2 existing switches on my network.
The PFSense screenshot is of my "trunk line" DHCP leases showing that the IP address that I can't reach (10.27.99.204) is not being used by another device on my network.
As an aside, while troubleshooting this I discovered that my original netgear smart switch (the GS108Ev3 at 10.27.99.200) is also not reachable via the web interface, but that is the very first switch in my network and has been running for a few years as I expect it to.
Both these switches are showing as "Idle/Offline" via the PFsense screenshot, but again, I know they are online and working, as my network is up and running.
I'm also attaching 2 more screenshots of my VLAN setup via PFsense.
Just a couple more details. I connected my laptop directly to the switch on 2 different ports. One that is setup for my VLAN 40 and one that is my "trunk line" 99.
The VLAN 40 connection found 2 of my other switches via the Netgear Discovery Tool, but the 99 connection only found 1 of them. Seems odd, but figured I'd share.
