Can't reach GUI on GS308E over VLAN trunk port
I have a simple network with two VLANs, 1 and 15. VLAN 1 is the general LAN. Most ports on my switches are in VLAN 1, untagged as that's the VLAN most devices talk to each other on. So I config...
The simple controller design is not workable over tagged trunks.
Ugh! Really!?!?
So deploy one of these switches anywhere in an existing network a never again reach it without walking over to it with laptop?
Well, I suspect it won't even get an IP from a DHCP server over a tagged trunk also, right? So definitely no reaching it.
Is this common? Do other brands (tp-link, etc.) of similar switches have the same limitation?

Correct.

All the product lines built around the same chipset series, implemented and offered by various brands, are affected.
Switch designs build on real fully blown managed cores. Keep your eyes open.
I guess it's a question of knowing what chipsets different products are being made from. Which the common person simply doesn't know. đ
Real bummed about this. I guess this is going have to just end up a dumb switch.
