Engage Feature Request
Hello helpful Netgear Engineers! I have a couple of feature requests for future Engage versions. First: Please add the ability to sort devices by IP address. I've been asking for this one for quite a while now. Our company uses barcodes for the device name so that isn't helpful to sort by. My work around is to drag the devices in the list manually but Engage tends to scramble them randomly as they are moved which is very frustrating. Second: I would like to utilize portrait view on my display to see more devices at one time. Engage will only use the top half of the screen when in this display mode. I'm on the latest Windows version. Thanks! Eric

Engage switchconfig bug
I've just started commissioning a rather large M4350-based network, and this is my first encounter with Netgear and Engage for this. (I do have experience with Arista/CVP and Cisco.) I like the Engage software, and I'm aware it's still being developed, but there is one bug that's very annoying, which I've found in 2 parts of the config software now. It has to do with duplicates in remants of config that remain after deleting something. For now I found this for an IP-address and a LAG name. When I create a LAG with a certain name and then delete the LAG for whatever reason, I'm now no longer able to reuse the name I've deleted. Re-creating a LAG with the same ID but a different name enabled me to reuse the first LAG name. The same goes for an IP-address. I wanted to swap the IP address from the OOB interface to a VLAN interface. I changed the OOB to DHCP and reconnected to the new IP address on the OOB port. I was then unable to reuse the old static address on a VLAN interface because it was already "in -use". I had to first change the static address on the OOB and then set it back to DHCP to "release" the IP address for use somewhere else. So it seems the deleted config bits are not fully deleted. Also, please either remove the stacking function from Engage or add a warning that it's very limited and refer to the switchGUI for more options until the feature is more complete. It took me longer than I'm willing to admit to find this out. I'm on the latest software and firmware.
