30 Topics4350 multiple routers for a/v
I have a video over ip system (transmit receiver bluestream to send hdmi to monitors on a network) 4x 4350 switches with sfp modules to link is 'stacking' how i need to configure this? They will be wired in a spider configuration and there will be sends and receives across the multiple routers.670Views0likes5CommentsXS512EM ports download speed
I just purchased a new XS512EM switch from Netgear's Amazon store. Updated firmware to 1.0.2.5, created two VLANs. VLAN1 has port1 for management connected to internal 172.16.200.x LAN and VLAN2 has ports 2-12 for external static public IPs 47.181.202.x. No QoS enabled, no speed limit Everything seems to work fine except I don't get symmetrical speeds on VLAN2. The uplink is a 2G/2G Frontier FiOS using their Optical Network Terminal (ONT) FRX523. If I connect a computer directly to the ONT 10G port I get 2G/2G all day long. If I use my old 2.5G unmanaged switch I get 2G/2G all day long on all ports. I opened a case with Netgear and they have never encountered nothing similar. Did I miss something in the configuration process?. A Frontier tech came onsite and checked the ONT and verified 2G/2G speeds today.

Hi, I am looking to connect both switches to my Firewalla each on port one. I am also looking to create a LAG between the two switches on the sfp ports. I am using the default vlan to assign ip addresses to the management port of the switches using dhcp. I also have a single vlan 20 for the remaining ports (also assigned via dhcp on different subnet from vlan 1) on the switches. My sfp lag between the two switches is a trunk for vlan 20. What I cannot figure out the correct STP (RSTP or MSTP) settings to prevent the switches from freaking out (rapid light blinking). The switches should know that all vlan 20 are routable without going through the firewalla and are acceptable via the connected LAG. Only the default vlan 1 should get routed via port 1 and any ip not on vlan 20. Also note that all of vlan 20 is on the same subnet. The firewalla also supports tree spanning which is turned on.XS724EM firmware 1.0.2.5 has NO-link issue with Cisco c300/c350 SMB switches at 1G link speed.
XS724EM firmware 1.0.2.5 is NOT fully compatible with Cisco small medium business 1G switches. For example, Cisco C300 SMB Series, C350 SMB Series, etc. To be clear: XS724EM Firmware 1.0.2.5 = Unable to pass any traffic to-from Cisco SMB switches at 1G whatsoever. XS724EM Firmware 1.0.2.0 = Works fine with Cisco SMB switches which ONLY support 100M or 1G links speeds. I had to downgrade XS724EM from 1.0.2.5 firmware, back down to 1.0.2.0 firmware, for it to be able to connect and work again with any of the Cisco SMB-series switches. In the 1.0.2.5 firmware release notes, it says, "A new physical layer driver is supported to improve interoperability." - I believe this to be the problem. as no physical link-layer communication is working using this XS724EM 1.0.2.5 firmware with Cisco C300/350-series SMB switches at 1G speeds. AND, because XS724EM does NOT have any feature to force speed at 1G, this means it is unable to link at all - no traffic passes whatsoever. In my opinion: This newer XS724EM firmware 1.0.2.5 should be pulled from download, reverted to 1.0.2.0, then patched, and finally re-launched again later (when compatibility is tested better). THANK GOODNESS, that NetGear still allows download of prior 1.0.2.0 firmware and lets you downgrade to work with Cisco again.

Hey I would like to make a stack with six 10Gb links between two m4300 switches. I use Ligtware Ubex vido converters from with two DAC cables that go to the switch. When sending 4k images, the lag group is about 12Gb in size and the switch can manage the lag group well. The Stack between the switches does not know how to divide the LAG group into several 10Gb lanes, but tries to put everything in one cable and the next lag group in another. Is it possible to get the stack to handle LAG groups with a data flow of more than 10Gb?406Views0likes0CommentsXS708T LAG with two 10G Mac ports says switch doesn't support 802.3ad
Simliar to jdmarlow's post here https://community.netgear.com/t5/Plus-and-Smart-Switches-Forum/Cannot-get-LAG-working-on-XS708T/m-p/2181135/highlight/true#M20138 I've been unsuccessful at bonding two 10G ports on a Mac on the XS708T switch. The difference with mine is I do have the two ports bonded on the MAC and LACP is turned on the LAG/switch; howover my Mac says my switch doesn't support 802.3AD Link aggregation.

I have just finished integrating a small/building-scale multimode (OM3) fiber backbone using Netgear 4300-series switches. I am using Netgear AXM761 duplex/multimode SFP+ transceivers. I have also experimented (successfully) with "bidirectional-over-multimode" (simplex) using "off-brand" SFP+ transceivers. Seems to deliver viable 10G performance at my distances/scales. Does Netgear make bi-directional SFP+ transceivers? Looking for something resembling the 10Gtek 1270nm/1330nm/40km parts I have been using in my experiments (readily available at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LPHIK6C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1). I have searched the web without success. Netgear part numbers would be ideal... assuming anything like this exists. Feel free to reply here (I am new to the forums, don't know if there is a "private message" capability). Thanks.1.3KViews0likes3CommentsHow to handle: Total Received Packets Not Forwarded
I have an MS510txm switch. At port 10 I have attached a sfp+ module with fibre (from 10GTek) operating at 10GB. The link is connected to another switch witch is connected to PC. The operation from PC over the link is working, but the detailed port statistic shows increasing numbers of "Total Received Packets Not Forwarded". May be the performance over the link is related to this effect? What causes the switch to not forward the packets? Is there a solution for that? On the other ports I dont see this behaviour.
