Unmanaged Switch GS305P user manual missing
Hi there, I ran into this switch model at one of our sites. It's cleared that it was configured by another tech in the past because it is passing vlan tagged traffic. I went to the download page but...
Not recognizing anything - much more for example with the computer data adapter untaged, the phone configured for a tagged VLAN, and whatever other VLANs it's simply handling untagged and tagged frames accordingly. Needless to say, this might not properly isolate the VLANs.
Under the line, this isn't Netgear issue 8-)
The mentioned Unmanaged Switch GS305P however is what it says - an unmanaged switch, nothing to configue, no IP address.
GS305P | Unmanaged Switch | NETGEAR Support Product Data Sheet and Installation Manual shows all there is - permitting this is the effective product we'e facing here.
The Netgear Switch Discovery Tool helps to find a Netgear switch LAN IP with a computer on the very same subnet - being a Smart Managed Plus or Smar Managed Pro model - obviously not any unmanaged unit.
how is that possible that is able to recognize voice vlans then? That location has 3 different vlans, and what's connected to the switch are voip phones that also passes traffic from other vlans for data.
Thanks

Thank you for your explanation.
what I found out was that the port from the managed switch that connect to the unmanaged switch is Tagged, that is why those phones were passing voice/data frames. But I noticed also the port on the unmanaged switch where the phone was connected was not working properly because after i connected the non working phone to another port of the unmanaged switch, the phone was working.
Thank you for your help.
