GS108Tv3 simple VLAN setup problems
Hello, I am trying to setup a VLAN in my SOHO environment. I am trying to divide network in one part of my environment into two parts: 1. The original good ole 192.168.1.x class C 255.255.255.0 wit...
Hello,
This is a quick update about this project. Ultimately I have figured out that the L3 capabilities of this product are subpair and added just for decoration with a buggy interface.
I have purchased Cisco SG350 10P switch and was able to make it work and it works very well. All objectives were accomplised with a bonus DHCP server configured on the SG350 and operating on the VLAN 172.
SonicWall cooperated very nicely with the SG350 with routing rules configured in 10 minutes.

1. When testing your setup in the lab in a non production environment make sure your SOHO router is able to setup static routes and do NAT for additional networks. That was a problem for me as I did not have an access to anything close in capabilities to SonicWall.
2. When testing inter VLAN communication between hosts DISABLE windows firewalls on your Windows 10 clients (doh)...
Thank you very much for your response and trying to help me.
Which device do you expect doing the L3 routing between the 192.168.1.x/24 and the 172.16.0.0/16 subnetwork? This simple switch probably can't - check the fine manual. You might bring this new network into your Sonicwall on another interface and setup the routing (and firewall rules) if any.

Ultimately I think you must be wrong here. What conclusion should Netgear get from this sorry sayin useless problem report?
Not a Netgear problem if your test set-up is not anywhere near to the effective intended production set-up. In many deployments you don't want L3 VLAN routing (a feature these switches can do nicely) bypassing security appliances like these Sonicwalls.

The Cisco Small Business Managed Switches come with fully blown feature sets most SMBs never use - completely overwhelming for the average non-IT networking professional user base. And I'm talking as an engineer who worked with Cisco SMB a lot on the introduction of their SMB switch lines on Beta and field testing.
Anyway, I would love to see more Netgear Smart Managed Pro models, for example with the hardware features of the SG350-10P.
