M4100: scheduled config save via encrypted connection (needs telnet up to now..)
Hello everybody, we would like to use NMS300 to save the config of our 40 Netgear Switches (M4100 series, different models) automatically every night, but this requires telnet to be enabled on all switches (confirmed by Netgear Expert Bruce_G: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Managed-Switches/NMS300-config-backup-with-telnet-disabled/m-p/1161992/thread-id/2682#M2753) I think that transmitting a password for administrative access in cleartext over the network isn't best practice, especially for a product which claims to be enterprise ready. Would you please implement an option for a scheduled config saving and other mass actions like firmware update for all switches via an encrypted conection? It should be possible to disable telnet on the switches without disabling any funcionality (apart from logging in via telnet of course..) ;-) Thanks in advance! Kind Regards Christoph PeusAdd support for M4300 series to NMS300
Hi, it would be nice to manage the M4300 series in NMS300, so please add support to backup the switches config via Telnet (or HTTP/S). See also this post as it shows some errors while using NMS300 to backup config from a M4300 switch: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Managed-Switches/NMS300-switch-config-backup-M4300/m-p/1090642 Thanks and best regards.Letter of Volatility
Please ensure NTGR does publish the Letter of Volatility (LOV) along with the product support download pages. We see that requests for LOV are taking reasonable bandwidth in the community support, temporary file downloads will be enabled with valid for a few days only. This makes the replies virtually useless, because the download is no longer available. So we see requests for the same product LOV again, or we get new posts. All this can be avoided... Thank you for consideration! Regards, -Kurt
Limit bandwidth on port - confused
Hi I have a guest house and I've created a vlan for the guests there, using only port number 24. I'd like to limit the bandwidth from that port to 100 Mbps but get confused by instructions in the manual and in the web interface. At one place it says I should define the "Interface Shaping Rate" to a number between 16–16384 (manual) and at the other is says between 1-100 (the web interface). I'm doing something wrong. Can you help me out here?Click Switch for Google Wifi mesh backhaul not working
Hi ! Bottom line, my Google WiFi access points are not able to properly see each other on the ethernet and Google suggests it may be my switch configuration's support for SPT... Network layout is rather simple home office setup. - I've got a cable modem. - Connected to my main Google Wifi unit (as per Google's requirements, I would have preferred to connect the cable modem directly to the switch) - Connected to a NETGEAR Click Switch (GSS108E) - On that switch, I have a couple of computers, 2 Tivo boxes, a printer, and 1 addtional wired google WiFi unit. - There are no VLANS. Just a flat /24 IP space as defaulted by Google (192.168.86.1 - .255) - The main Google WiFi unit is providing DHCP services to everything, and I can ping all connected devices and tracert with a single hop. Thanks for your help !Multiple VLAN Mirroring
Enable support for mirroring multiple VLAN's to a single port. Support for this feature would allow monitoring of select traffic and exclusion for others. This would also support monitoring of virtual infrastructure by allowing the guest VLAN to be monitored and allowing the host/management VLAN to be excluded. Port based mirroring does not support that in the same way.Need to limit bandwidth (rate) by port
I need a switch where I can set limit rate or bandwidth by port. Here is the situation. My church streams and we currently have a 10Mbps down and 1.1Mbps up. If there is a few people are on the network (WiFi), then the sustained streaming rate is fine with no caching or drop outs but get 60-100 devices hanging off the wifi. If ever all will decide that now is a good time to download updates or something else, then the stream is shot to... I am thinking that if I can limit the rate through the ports I connect the WiFi devices to, this will limit how much of my "pipe" is used so I can keep the 1.1 Mbps upload untouched. Or if there is a way I can dedicate that much bandwidth always for upload only that would work to.No Internet After Connecting GS808E Switch to Router
I have spent too many hours resetting things to default, trying to reconfigure things, plugging and unplugging cables, etc. Whilst I have multiple devices in the house, all the PC's in the house are on Windows 10, not that it should matter. Here is my list of components in my home network: Modem: Netgear CM600 Cable Modem (service provided by Spectrum) Router: Asus RT-AC3200 Switch: Netgear GS808E (Nighthawk S8000) Brief history: PC connected directly to modem, works/have internet connection. Router connected to modem/PC connected to router, works both wired and wireless. Introduced the Nighthawk S8000 (or either of the other two switches I have at home), no internet anywhere. I assumed that adding a switch to the mix, to expand my network would be fairly easy/plug and play. A crappy TrendNET 5-port switch worked previously, when I had AT&T Uverse, and some ports worked on the crappy 8-port Monoprice switch that I had. Yes, modem is connected to WAN port on router. Yes, port 1 on router is connected to port 8 on switch. I have enabled jumbo frame on the router under "Switch Control" as well. I have tried rebooting and resetting things. I have tried powering up the router first, then the switch, and tried powering up the switch, and then the router
