GS110EMX VLAN features not working
In my prior post here I described an issue I'm having with my GS110EMX, which is not tagging frames on a trunked interface despite an apparently valid configuration. This switch is running Yesterday, reading the documentation of another vendor's switch, I came on a setting on that device where the switch did not tag frames if the vlan matched the port's PVID. Given that at the time (our teenager was in the middle of an intense online game), I decided to test this with a new VLAN. The setup (screenshots below) is as follows: Port 2 untagged on VLAN 10, PVID set to 10 Ports 1-6, 9, 10 untagged on VLAN 2, PVID set to 2 Ports 7/8 (LAG 1, LACP) tagged on VLANS 2 and 10, PVID set to 2. I plugged my laptop into Port 2, and ran several packet captures from both my client and the upstream router (a Mikrotik RB5009) during my testing. Some interesting (and maddening) results came from this: Traffic from untagged VLAN 2 ports appeared up the upstream router untagged, as previously observed. Broadcast DHCP requests from my laptop did not appear on the upstream router, at all. No traffic tagged with VLAN 10 was seen (caveat: I did not test the forwarding of non-broadcast traffic sent from my laptop into port 2 using a static IP configuration on the DHCP client). Attached below is a series of screenshots showing the configuration and the resulting PCAPs. Is there anything I'm missing, or is this a failure of the switch hardware itself? And yes, I did powercycle it to make sure that wouldn't change anything. GS110EMX configuration: LACP configuration for LAG 1 on Ports 7-8: 801.Q Configuration: 802.1Q Configuration: ports 2,7-8 as members.
Port Lights on with no cable plugged in?
Came home and found my GS108Ev2 switch was acting strange...the port lights were on without any ethernet cables plugged in. Anyone know about this issue and how to resolve. What could cause this behavior? Power surge? I have tried rebooting the switch, reset factory defaults, and rebooting again but the same port light stays on (both lights) without a cable plugged in. Thanks for the help.WAX210 Firmware 1.1.0.34 Bug – SSID Password Complexity Incorrectly Enforced
Hi everyone — I’m seeing what looks like a firmware regression on the WAX210 after updating to v1.1.0.34, and I want to report it in case others are affected. After updating, the AP now refuses to save any configuration changes (even unrelated ones like just renaming the Access Point). The UI throws this error: SSID1: SSID passphrase length must be between 8 and 63 characters, and contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special symbol. This happens even when the SSID password is not edited at all. The AP loads the existing (valid) WPA2/WPA3 passphrase and flags it as invalid due to a complexity requirement that didn’t exist before. This appears to be the AP Login Password complexity policy being mistakenly applied to SSID passphrases, which contradicts the official manual. SSID passwords for WPA2/WPA3 should only require 8–63 characters. Reproduction Steps Update WAX210 to firmware 1.1.0.34 Log into the web interface Make any change (example: AP Name only) Click Apply The SSID password complexity error appears, even though SSID settings were untouched Impact. The AP cannot accept any configuration changes unless the SSID password is replaced with a much more complex passphrase. This forces a complete re-key of all connected devices. Expected Behavior Per the WAX210 User Manual, SSID passphrases should be valid with: 8 to 63 characters No requirements for uppercase/lowercase/digits/symbols Those rules worked correctly in previous firmware versions. Current Workaround Rolling back to firmware 1.1.0.25 or 1.1.0.20 fully resolves the issue. Request Can Netgear please confirm whether this is a regression in 1.1.0.34 and escalate to the firmware engineering team? This issue effectively prevents configuration of the device. I can provide: Screenshots of the error dialog A configuration backup A short video showing the issue Exact hardware revision and serial if needed Thanks in advance.Produktionsdatum Switch prüfen
Hi. Ich habe einen Switch XS508M bei Amazon bestellt. Der gelieferte weist Gebrauchsspuren auf (der Lüfter ist schon verdreckt!), somit bezweifele ich, daß dieser neu ist ! Wie kann ich prüfen, wie alt das Gerät ist ? Geht das über die Seriennummer ? Danke und Gruß, ChristopherNo internet after switch is plugged in
I have a GS305v3 unmanaged switch that I just bought and attempted to use. It is connected to my internet via cat6 cable that I ran from my office in my house where my router/modem is located, to my bedroom. When I connect any device to the ethernet port that I put in the bedroom, I have no issues connecting to the internet. But if I plug the switch into the port, then any device to the switch, no internet is passing through. All lights on the switch illuminate as they should according to the manual, but I can't seem to find any info as to what the problem possibly is. For a clear picture of how all the hardware is set up: Fiber internet direct to router/modem in office Cat6 cable to ethernet port in office Cat6 cable from office ethernet port to bedroom ethernet port through the attic Any device connected directly to ethernet port in bedroom works perfectly with 1000mbps+ download Switch plugged direct to ethernet port, devices plugged into switch, no internet to any devices Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance to anyone who offers advice.XS724EMv2: UL listed / certified?
Hi. I'm searching for successor >=24 Port 10G-BaseT L2/L2+ Ethernet Switch as the current model XS728T is End-of-life. Netgear offers the XS724EM, which is also End-of-life, and the new XS724EMv2, which seems to be perfect for our use case. But as this is an important requirement for our international business the Switch must be UL listed or certified. Based on the datasheet the obsolete XS724EM is UL listed (UL listed (UL 1950)/cUL IEC 950/EN 60950), but I can't find any UL specification in the datasheet of the new XS724EMv2. So, I want to ask if anyone here can check the name plate on the XS724EMv2 switch if there is any symbol regarding UL or cUL. Thanks in advance
