Managment-IP & Trunk on the same Port - GS108T
Hey, I'm new to switching with netgear! As stated in the title: is it possible to make the switch accessible via the trunk port while also being in a managment vlan? The setup so far: Default-VLan 1, Client-VLan 40, Printer 50 and MGMT 10. The switch can be managed with the IP it gets from the default VLAN over the trunk port. But i want it to be in vlan 10. When i change the managment vlan id to 10 the switch isn`t pingable anymore. The switch is set to dhcp and has a reserved ip address in both vlans (1 and 10). I use the GS108T mainly for testing, will need an solution for the M4300-52G ProSAFE 48-port without needing to connect an laptop! I hope my question is understandable, english is not my first language. Thanks in advance! Philipp

FVS336GV2 VLANS and Port Forwarding - firmware 4.3.3-6
Howdy, Correct me if I am wrong, but in order to get full VLAN support I need to use 4.x firmware. I saw the LAN Groups in firmware 3.11.0-8, but it didnt really look like true VLANs (but I could be wrong). Let me know if I can get this working with firmware 3.11.0-8 As well, once upgraded to 4.3.3-6 (to get VLAN support) I am having difficulty getting Port Forwarding for RDP AKA Terminal Services (port 3389) to work. I want to achieve 3 VLANs, port forwards, and VPN access with this environment: Port/VLAN 1 (Default - Office Network -- port forwards and VPN access) Port/VLAN 2 (Phones) Port/VLAN 3 (Video) ...and I'd like to get the Port Forwards to work currently. I havent't tried getting the VPN working yet as I have to get the ISP to correct something with the Modem/Gateway first so I can get to the interface to change settings and allow the IPSec traffic to pass through. I'd like to keep the Modem's Wifi working so I can use it as as a guest Wifi. As it stands, I have told the FVS336GV2 (192.168.10.x network) to forward 3389 on TCP and UDP from WAN1 (192.168.0.x) to the IP of the device I am trying to reach in the 192.168.10.x network. WIndows Firewalls are set to OFF for Public and Private interfaces. I have validated I can get to port 3389 if I connect a 2nd NIC directly to the ISP's Gateway (192.168.0.x) on a different IP than the FVS336GV2's WAN1 IP and change the port forward on the ISP's gateway to this IP, but the FVS336GV2 doesnt act like it even sees the traffic (no firewall logs) when the Forward is set to the WAN1 IP in the ISP's Gateway. Any thoughts on how I can get this sorted out? Or is firmware 3.11.0-8 capable of VLANS as needed, as I know the port forwards and VPN work there. P.S. according to the firmware notes for 4.x, there is a 25% speed drop as a result of the newer firmware. Is the 25% speed drop just in the interface for the FVS336GV2 or the overall performance of the network activity of the device itself? Please and Thank You, Steven
