GS308E changing Management VLAN
Dear all, I need to change the Management VLAN on a trunk of multiple GS308E Plus switches. How can one do that? Thanks a lot
Netgear should post KB entry on these kind of questions.
Like (almost, with a few exceptions only) all Plus GSxxxxE[n][n] switches, there is no managed core, and no management VLAN, never was. Management access is indeed possible from any VLAN, _and_ on untagged connections only, and in case there is IP access configured only for that specific IP (again on any untagged) connection configured to any VLAN. Tagged connections ie. over a trunk don't allow any management access when I have it right (or one could consider this as a bug).

Thank you, thats a major security flaw. Is there a possibilty to report this at Netgear?
Retired_Member,
Welcome to the community! 🙂
Be informed that the GS308E does NOT support Management VLAN since it is a Smart Managed Plus Switch. It is by design.
Smart Managed Plus Switch Models gives user the flexibility to configure certain static layer 2 settings in order to improve network efficiency and performance. The configurable features are Port Mirroring, VLAN, QoS, Rate Limit, and Broadcast Storm Filtering.
If ever you want to implement a Management VLAN to your network, I suggest you either of the following switch models below. Click the links to learn more:

Thanks DaneA - we bought a lot of them without knowing about this.
Where can I report this?
This is not a missing feature, this is a serious security flaw and needs to be reported - where can I do this?
