7 TopicsI bought the Plus Switch-GS105E V2 so I could "see" both PC's, but ...
Subject (Include model number and brief summary) I bought the Plus Switch-GS105E V2 so I could "see" both PC's, but ... Q: How can I "see" what's on the (other) PC? Before the "SWITCH *": If I am on PC1, & plug in a USB HD, then I can "view" ALL the files on it {using File Explorer, eg,}, & then I can even run prgs. But I Can NOT "see" PC2 from PC1 What am I missing? Also, my son-in-law sez: that I shlda' NOT! bought the Plus, since the simpler one wlda just shown both.... My Equipment: Switch: GS105Ev2 — 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch / GS105E V2 PC1 {"Green"} runs Win10 Pro (etc.) PC2 {"NewEgg"} runs Win11 Pro J (OG Power User - think IBM 360 & Punch cards. But my network ["running"] experience is limited, EXCEPT! back in the 80's I ran PC Anywhere, etc, between 2 PCjr's etc etc. ) - PS: the "Network" icon only shows the NAMES, not the "stuff" (i.e., folders, if shown, are empty, & I have turned on "sharing" etc everytime it's requested ). I am NOT talking re: permit error msgs, but I am!! asking "How can I use File Explorer (etc.) ? " to "see" what's on all the drives {& PCs etc} that are plugged into the switch? & OF COURSE I have downloaded / installed / run configured all from the site: Firmware/Software Firmware Version 1.6.0.10 NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool for Windows Version 1.2.103 ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility v2.7.81.5KViews0likes3CommentsNetgear Smart Managed Switch GS310TP- UNifi VLAN Tagged/Untagged
I just bought the 310TP for powering Unifi WIFI as there is no injector available and never thought i would need POE switch but it looks to be intresting on capability of switch now i can control and plan the network. I wanted to setup a VLAN for media devices and IOT devices ( Smart bulb and Amazon echo & Smart AC) and Portal devices like Mobiles and tabs a seperate VLAN and NAS a seperate VLAN and Unifi AP being center for all wireless devices. Except my desktop & NAS rest all wireless exception is AP which get POE as source. Now this is what i wanted and need help to setup. VLAN-1 - PC / Laptop/ Tab to be mangement devices should have access to everything in the network VLAN-2- Unifi AP - This connects everything. VLAN-3- IOT wireless devices connecting to AP. VLAN-4 NAS VLAN-5 For all Mobiles, TV, Repeater & streaming devices including setop box. Now VLAN-1 & 2 will have access to anything. VLAN 4 should have have acces to VLAN 5. VLAN 3- needs to be isolated only have Internet access and no access to any VLAN other than VLAN 2 AP for connection. ( Little tricky not sure if this technically feasible) VLAN 4- should have internet access as well. On the other hand can i isolate few devices in VLAN 5 mobile/streamer to be isolated and have access to all but not seen by others on scaning. Just 2 devices . Also i am not sure where to find complete view of the smart managed switch video how to setup managed switch. Does this model is supported for the Insight or its not. What does the uplink SFP usecase.Loop detection and prevention
Hello, Netgear Community. This weekend I have not time to relax and enjoy my beer. Instead I was spent time in Server room with my lovely "roommates" 2x S3300 and 4x GS752TP. I spent few long hours before I found, that I old lady plug one VoIP-phone two times in my switch (using wall plugs in her office). So it was funny time, but I do not want it to happen again! :) Image to clarify: I have activated RSTP at these switches, but this is not helped my to prevent this loop. So, when I got call from stuff about the problem, the broadcast storm had fully frezed all processes in the networks (servers, switches, wlan, routers, all). So I even have not had any syslog. Anyway, after the time, I found this port and disabled it. But, the question - Is there any mechanismes to prevent such loops and/or to notify my about such even? Could you please share you experience and advise me please! Have a nice day. IgorSolved27KViews0likes6CommentsLanSweeper and Netgear Plus switch scanning
Started work for a new company that was still using old 3Com unmanaged 10/100 switchs and could not understand why they were having problems. Unwilling to spring for the latested and greatest in these times of small budgets I managed to finagle 2 Netgear GS116Ev2 switchs from NewEgg for a fair price. Not thinking clearly regarding management I failed to realize that these switchs have no SNMP. Sigh. I use LanSweeper to mainting oversight of the network. It is free and fast and simple. Unfortunately there does not seem to be an easy way to get it and the Switch to cooperate with each other. So question 1. Anyone use LanSweeper with Netgear Plus switchs? 2. Is there a way to set up a "user name" on the switch? The password only aspect of logging into the switch really confuses Lansweeper. 3. Any suggestions on other software that is free fast and simple for network management and oversight? Thanks for your time.

Hello everyone. Happy New Year, I have a Netgear WNDR3700 running DD-WRT as my main router. This router has two guest access points, one for adults (192.168.3.100-105) and one for kids (192.168.2.100-105). I use the different IP addressing schemes so I can control access on the kids account. It also runs our main network (192.168.1.100-130). I also have a Linksys WRT54GS (DD-WRT) and an Asus RT-N56U (OpenWRT) running as access points. One up stairs and one in the master. My goal, was to setup roamimg Wifi by adding the guest accounts to the WRT54GS and RT-N56U. I am pretty sure that they work when each are connect directly to the WNDR3700. Once they go into their permanent locations, which throws the GS516TP switch into the mix, I have a hard time pulling an IP from the WNDR3700 at the N56U and the WRT54GS. I bought the GS516TP to ultimately run POE security cameras and now that I have it I think it might be above my knowledge when it comes to everything it does (self taught network geek ;-)) Any suggestions on where to turn, links, pushes in the right direction.....anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, DanSolved
