Auto Voice VLAN setup
We are looking to isolate our VoIP traffic to its own VLAN. For a number of reasons, we'd like this to happen without needing to configure each phone. It looks like Netgear switches support this. Unfortunately, the documentation is scattered and in many cases outdated. I'm hoping some folks here can show me where we're going wrong. Goals: Voice VLAN = 88. Ports 1-44 set to untagged VLAN 1 and VLAN 88. Default to 1 unless MAC address prefix matches a VoIP device. Ports 45-46 are for router for Voice-VLAN and has no access to VLAN 1. Ports 47-48 are for router normal VLAN (1) and has no access to VLAN 88. Ports 49-52 are uplinks and should carry traffic for both VLANs. The phone should be able to operate in pass-through mode, and devices behind them should default to VLAN 1 as they normally would. Currently I am facing two issues: When I plug in a phone with matching MAC prefix, it is not being pushed to VLAN 88. I'm unable to outright disable Voice-VLAN (88) on ports 47-48. I'll add some screenshots of the current config in a follow-up post. Hopefully some kind network admin will take a look and be able to spot where I'm going wrong.GS105Ev2 Update Firmware Beyond V 1.2.0.5
I have an unused GS105Ev2 Plus Switch that I have been playing with. On an apparently misguided whim, I downloaded and flashed the original V1.2.0.5 firmware to the device. The switch still works, but I've learned that it no longer supports a web interface for management. I installed the ProSAFE Plus utility, and it is also unable to detect the switch, so I reset the switch in an attempt to reset to a known IP address. I still cannot detect the switch with an older version of ProSAFE (v 2.2.3). I'm wondering if I can use TFTP to flash a newer firmware version, or if I've permanently downgraded my switch to a "dumb" device. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
MS510TXM firmware version?
What happened to firmware version 1.0.5.12 for the MS510TXM? Back in mid-march, I had received an email from Netgear advising the release of firmware 1.0.5.12, with the below details. I updated the firmware back then, and since had been running it. However, I have just checked the support page for the switch and they're back to 1.0.5.10 and have completely removed 1.0.5.12! Does anyone know what happened? Should I revert back to 1.0.5.10, or stick with 1.0.5.12? Thanks, Model MS510TXM Firmware Version: 1.0.5.12 Release notes: MS510TXM and MS510TXUP Firmware version 1.0.5.12 Bug Fixes This firmware addresses the following bugs: Fixes an issue where you cannot exclude ports from the voice VLAN using the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app.Web Firmware Upgrade GS108Ev3 fails
Can anyone explain why you cannot upgrade the firmware on GS108Ev3 from firefox on linux? In my case from V2.06.17 to ENV2.06.24EN. After numerous attempts I noticed another comment elsewhere on the same subject where the user used a Windows machine and it worked. The same just worked for me...MS Edge (!) on windows 10 VM upgrade works as you would expect! What is the logic here that I am missing?
