NVR Crashing with Netgear Switches
I was testing my Reolink RLN16-410 NVR with a Reolink camera and both a Netgear GS308EP and a GS308EPP. I have two EPP switches. With one of them, everything was working just fine. However, with the EP and the other EPP, the whole system crashes and restarts every minute or two. My suspicion is that the switches are bad because I got the two EPPs from Amazon Resale and the EP from Ebay, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something before I buy replacements. I'm not very familiar with this stuff.Discovery tool not discovering
I have a GS308EP switch which I have been accessing via the Discovery tool. I have just fitted a new hardrive and reinstalled windows 11 along with all of my software. I have installed the same version (2.04) of the Netgear Discovery Tool but when I launch it the "Choose a connection" box is blank. On my old hard drive this worked fine after an easy install. I am at a loss to know why it is not finding my switch.
Temperature monitoring and control on Smart/Plus switches
I own an XS724EM 24-port 10G switch. It runs warm to the touch, and the default fan profile seems to err on the side of low noise rather than cooling. Tech support says that the switch is designed to spin down fans entirely unless a certain temperature threshold is reached. Personally, I would prefer to see more aggressive cooling, even if meant slightly more fan noise. So my feature request is twofold: Basic temperature monitoring (ambient, internal) in the admin GUI. All I want is a simple readout of how warm the switch currently thinks it is. Basic manual fan control in the admin GUI. I'm envisioning something like the "Cool/Balanced/Quiet" drop-down menu (see image) found on ReadyNAS units. I know the managed switches have functionality along these lines. To me, this basic temperature monitoring and control seems like it should definitely be included on Smart/Plus switches too.Add option to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet in firmware
The GS105E v2 (5 port) and GS116E v2 (16 port) switches have the ability to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) in the web interface via: System > Management > Power Saving Mode, Enable/Disable This option is missing from the GS108E v3 (8 port) switch. Can this be addressed in a future firmware update?300-serie SOHO Plus - SNMP
Hi, we are planning to use the Netgear 300 Series plus switches for camera / alarm systems. The switches are great, with VLAN and a high POE budget but we are missing SNMP functionality. Are there any plans to implement SNMP in further Firmware versions. With kind regards, PieterAuto renable Ports if D-Disabled (Flood Control, MAC Control, etc.)
It is a nice feature, that flooded/storm/looped ports may become disabled. but in all cases they should be reenabled after some time. there should be an option to auto reenable a port with this error after n minutes. say loop 1 minutes disabled, flood 5 minutes disabled. after this time it should have some retries like 3-5 retries. if condition still occurs it should automatically scale the time to 50, 500, 5000 minutes or sth else. so problems could be resolved without admin access. this should be OPTIONAL per feature.Please add the Management VLAN option to GS305E/GS308E switches!
I purchased both a GS305E and two GS308E switches and really like the performance and configuration functionality, but it's missing a key feature -a Configurable Management VLAN. Please add this feature because otherwise I'm likely going to return these switches to get something that supports them from another vendor for the same price point.M4300 8X-8F] stacking firmware compatibility for stacking with S3300 devices
You have 2 device compatibilities so far, please add M4300 8x-8f (XSM4316S) to the S3300/M4300 firmware pair! https://kb.netgear.com/000049533/Smart-M4300-S3300-Stacking-Notes-and-Restrictions?article=000049533 The link above provides context to the question and idea. Thanks!
