Support HTTPS oin GS1xxE web Managet Switches
Please consider using HTTPS for the web management of the GS1xxE line of switches. Especially the smaller models need a secure way to configure them as there are no real replacements for in-field deployments outside special technical rooms where is no room to fit an entire rack into... As the current state of security of many of the embedded or IoT thingis is sub-optimal it is crucial to prevent login credential sniffing via other pOwnd network devices within the same subnet. Thanks, Stefan SeideSNMP on RBR50v2 and RBS50v2
I had posted this as a question on the Orbi forum (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/SNMP-on-RBR50v2-and-RBS50v2/td-p/1768958), but it seems it might be better suited here as a suggestion with reasoning, or at least as another heartfelt supportive vote for the few previous idea posts that also suggested SNMP on Orbi: "I searched the forum for "SNMP", yet most "can't do" answers are left from 2017, and since then there have been many NOs that turned into YESes by hardware/software updates. So, I'll refresh the question... The online PDF manual for RBRxx & RBSxx says, on the many pages under the title "default settings" that "SNMP: Disabled". That seems to mildly indicate that there might be a way, now or in the future, to enable it. I have just bought RBK50v2, all set up, works, happy, etc. It is a large house (I bought TWO RBK50v2!), so I am also replacing my misc ~15 year old unmanaged Netgear switches with Netgear's "Smart Managed Pro" 8/16/24-port switches. These are switches that implement the "SNMP v1/v2c and v3" for discovery & management by tools like LanTopoLog (https://www.lantopolog.com/) as well as more professional LAN mapping software (like, SolarWinds etc). So, I was wondering if the Orbi routers and sattelites will be visible in these topology maps when I am all done wiring up the stuff. I have looked at ORBI's router admin pages for settings, but nothing screamed as SNMP; maybe it is labeled as something different. I know that orbilogin.com shows a list of the devices on the network, and I appreciate that VERY much; I already spent hours properly assigning friendly names to all the devices on my network. But a list is not a topology, and the iPhone app just showing which Orbi is connected to which other Orbi via wired or wireless is also not LAN topology. I want to see what device is connected to which switch/router/satelite either wirelessly or wired, and which port, if wired. Upfront thanks for any insight about the current and future state of SNMP on Orbi. Tuna"
Support LACP L2+L3 hashing on XS series switches
The XS series switches only support L2 hashing with LACP (802.3ad), apparently only the managed switches support anything beyond L2. The ReadyNAS units support L2, L2+L3, and L2+L3+L4 out of the box. Could the upper tier web managed switches please have at least L2+L3 support added? I'm not talking about going crazy and adding more than that. Should be a relatively minor change, the UI changes would likely be more involved than the protocol changes. It should be a big benefit to the ReadyNAS users.
