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...
I guess it's a question of knowing what chipsets different products are being made from. Which the common person simply doesn't know. 😞
Real bummed about this. I guess this is going have to just end up a dumb switch.
I don't know if this will help or not but I'm currently using 7 VLANs in my network and have been controlling my switch remotely through a trunk port. I'm new to Netgear products so I may or may not be correct on my assumptions.
From what I've gathered is Netgear treats VLAN 1 as a management VLAN. Currently I have G1 configured with a PVID of 1 and all the other VLANs trunking over it. I statically assigned a IP from the VLAN 1000 subnet but DHCP was working when I initially set it up. When I initially set it up I had some issues with the VLAN/Firewall setup on my router. By any chance are you moving from one subnet to another and getting caught by a firewall rule? I access the web GUI from a desktop in VLAN 1000 that is plugged into my router.
fitz17 You start off by saying you are controlling your router over a trunk port but then end up saying that you are accessing the GUI from a desktop ... that is plugged into your router.
Those things contradict each other. Of course the latter works. It's the former that doesn't work. Try accessing the GUI from a machine connected to a different switch such that the traffic needs to be trunked to the Netgear switch.
