Add a management vlan setting to GS-108pev3 switches

It is a very unsafe design to have the switch listen to every VLAN that's configured as untagged in one of its physical ports for its web management. It would be a relatively simple change to add a specific vlan to listen to for management, regardless of whether a port is marked untagged for this vlan or not.

    Here again, leaving the absent management VLAN config control undisputed.

     

    The Plus switches are built on non-managed switch cores, with just limited configuration options, and with information available from the core. This is config control is implemented using a tiny 8051 class ucontroller nipping on the switch data stream for handling several features, like NSDT discovery, http, tftp, ...

     

    If things like adding a strict management VLAN or https would be soooooo easy as many of the idea-makers it would have happened years ago already.

     

    PS. Instead of open yet another duplicate idea, one could follow up the existing ones, comment, and vote up...
