VoIP on GS105Ev2
I have a new GS105Ev2, and I'm trying to setup VoIP on it, but I'm not sure how to. I'm using 802.1Q VLAN. Port 1 = Trunk from another Netgear switch for VLANs 2,4,5 (T) Port 2 = VLAN 5 (U) (Th...

Potentially both will tend to be phased out in favour of the Netgear Switch Discovery Tool (which does list both Smart Managed Plus and Smart Managed Pro, but not the Insight managed switches however [another inconsistency, not all Insight GCxxx switches are under Insight Management] and using the individual switch Web UI only.
I made port 2 tagged for VLAN 5 and the IP phone is getting dhcp and working. Thanks for your help.
