GS1xxE and their PoE equivalents. Getting them an IP using DHCP on a specific vlan.

Hello to anyone taking the time to read this.

 

I have close to a dozen netgear GS1xxE switches at my home and various family member's homes by now and swear by the things. Vlan tagging is a must for our various setups and these switches haven't disapointed yet.

 

However , when it comes to configuring them, the fact one is incapable of selecting the vlan on which the things do their DHCP negotiating forces me to use fixed IP's.

 

In essence this isn't all that bad. But adding this to the firmware isn't something unreasonable to ask I would think.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply. If you also think this slight oversight should be rectified please do reply.

    This has the most votes, I have two JGS524PEs and I really need the ability to specify the VLAN the management IP is listening on. Can you give us an ETA for when this feature will be implemented - it is the most popular feature request on this site so far.

    Hi, I would really like this feature on the GS105E and the GS108E. I wanted to use some trunk lines to distribute my personal network as well as some public accessible wifi network through my home. But of course I don't want the management interface to be accessible from the public network. So, yeah, please implement this! Regards,

    Hi,

     

    I own a GS108Ev3. I wish I could specify the VLAN ID for the switch management. I would use this VLAN ID on a trunk port.

    I just clicked the up arrow :)

     

    Regards.

    Hi Phoenixxl, 

     

    Yes, they all belong to the Gigabit Web Managed (Plus) series. Engineer take a look at hot topics and requests on this board so don't forget to click on the Up arrow (kudos/ +1), the more request it gets the higher chance it will be added to their firmwares. 

     

    Thanks,

    Hello JohnRo

     

    Currently the switches I know for certain that have vlan tagging capabilities and lack the ability to specify on which vlan they do their DHCP negotiating are these: GS105E, GS105PE,GS108PE, GS108Ev3, GS116Ev2 .

    I'm sure it's at least the whole prosafe plus series but I can't be absolutely sure since I don't own them all.

     

    Friendly Regards.

    Hello Phoennixl, 

     

    Thank you for posting a request on our Idea Exchange Board. This is actually a very good suggestion, we'll need the specific model number of the switches so we'll know if it is possible for the said model. Please don't forget to click the up arrow (kudos icon), the more users like the request the more it will be implemented. You can also file a support request on our website. 

     

    Thanks,
