12 TopicsEngage switchconfig bug
I've just started commissioning a rather large M4350-based network, and this is my first encounter with Netgear and Engage for this. (I do have experience with Arista/CVP and Cisco.) I like the Engage software, and I'm aware it's still being developed, but there is one bug that's very annoying, which I've found in 2 parts of the config software now. It has to do with duplicates in remants of config that remain after deleting something. For now I found this for an IP-address and a LAG name. When I create a LAG with a certain name and then delete the LAG for whatever reason, I'm now no longer able to reuse the name I've deleted. Re-creating a LAG with the same ID but a different name enabled me to reuse the first LAG name. The same goes for an IP-address. I wanted to swap the IP address from the OOB interface to a VLAN interface. I changed the OOB to DHCP and reconnected to the new IP address on the OOB port. I was then unable to reuse the old static address on a VLAN interface because it was already "in -use". I had to first change the static address on the OOB and then set it back to DHCP to "release" the IP address for use somewhere else. So it seems the deleted config bits are not fully deleted. Also, please either remove the stacking function from Engage or add a warning that it's very limited and refer to the switchGUI for more options until the feature is more complete. It took me longer than I'm willing to admit to find this out. I'm on the latest software and firmware.28Views0likes1CommentWAC730 Captive Portal - Facebook - Issues
WAC730, standalone, v3.8.3.0, two SSID in service, FB Login proof of concept for customer demonstration Created a new SSID, assigned the second captive portal NETGEAR-1 Configured the second captive portal NETGEAR-1 (why ever this profile name can't be renamed - Netgear does still not understand [my!] profile design concept you have stolen from another vendor), Captive Portal Mode (x) Enabled, Register with Facebook WiFi (x) Yes, Profile Name NETGEAR-1 [x] Admin enabled, Authentication mode: Facebook Wi-Fi, Facebook page: [set]. When accessing the SSID, the captive portal page does show up very unreliable - all current Windows 10/Android/iOS/macOS. When it does show up, we can check in to the Facebook site. And the access works kind of as expected. IF you have ever the chance to check-in on the FB site. [ISSUE!] When now attempting to manage the WAC730 over the LAN, the Captive Portal does jump in - why ever, always. Regardless if calling https://wac730-1.[whatever.dom.ain]/ or https://[WAC730-LAN-ADMIN-IP]/ (same with http), the FB WiFi Captiv Portal does jump in: ...now we're nice, and [Check in] at the site... ...we can click on [Continue browsing] as many times as we want, the browser does call the LAN IP (as originally requested), and the [Continue Browsing] page does come up again. The WAC730 Web UI is not accessible over the LAN at this state. Even if trying a new session, a different browser - we're really captured. But not by accessing the SSID ... by attempting to manage the WAC730 over the LAN! Obvious [BUG]. Firmware is current as of Support / WAC730- ProSAFE Business 3 x 3 Dual Band Wireless-AC Access Point v3.8.3.0. Proof of concept failed, looks like we won't get an order Netgear WLAN equipment for this customer RaghuHR. Bugware. Untested. Back to the skunkworks. Now I don't wonder why the Nighthawk router model(s) supporting FB WiFi are suffering from basic functionality issues as well.Solved5KViews0likes6Comments[BUG] RAID Resync Progress Output in 6.8.0
In my quest to find half usable iSCSI performance on the 3220 (https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-in-Business/RN3220-RN4200-Crippling-iSCSI-Write-Performance/m-p/1289066), I upgraded to FW 6.8.0, blew away the array and rebuilt it - into a RAID 10 this time - and left it re-synching overnight. I came back this morning and this is what the re-sync operation was reporting: If you jump in and out of the tab, the % and timer are still ticking. So it looks like a bug. I assume the UI update algorithm was never correctly informed that the operation was complete and the counters continued ticking.2.8KViews0likes6CommentsBackup fails because there is a period (".") at the end of my filename.
Hi, I'm trying to setup a backup on my new ReadyNAS 212 (Firmware 6.7.5). Whenever I run the backup I receive an error : Cannot read file 'opti/makeinclude/shared.mk.' (error: No such file or directory)! Failed to copy file '/Vol_4TA/foo/opti/makeinclude/shared.mk.' (error: No such file or directory)! This seems like a bug. How can I report this so that NETGEAR can work on fixing it? In the mean time I guess I'll have to change the name of my file if I want it backed-up. :smileyfrustrated: ThanksSolved4.4KViews0likes12CommentsNeed instructions to update FVS318Gv2 firmware beyond 4.3.3.6
Hi. I'm looking for clear ("for laymen") instructions to upgrade my FVS318Gv2 firmware past the v4.3.3-6 update which blocks subsequent upgrades through the GUI. A firewall without bug fixes is like a door without lock - pointless. For those who don't know, the v4.3.3-6 update of the FVS318Gv2 had apparently a bug which somehow disabled further firmware upgrading through the GUI: Once this firmware installed, the firewall errors out after a couple seconds on any subsequent upgrade attempt. Meaning that we need to somehow force-feed the next version (4.3.3.8 or later) into the firewall so upgrades resume working. How can we do this? It's a problem Netgear created, and I expect Netgear to help us solve it. So, what are my options? I definitely don't have the time to go through the "have you tried to switch it off and back on again" routine with some helpdesk drone in Pakistan, and apparently that's the only support option offered. For $50, too... Is there another support option I missed? E-mail would be great. What other means are there to fix this problem? Yes, I did find a thread mentioning using telnet and TFTP servers, but I also read there is a danger of bricking my firewall, and that Netgear doesn't condone accessing the firewall using telnet. So, besides the technical difficulty, it's also dangerous... Can somebody please tell me how high are the chances of bricking our firewall, and if it happens, what would be my options (besides rushing out to buy a new one - of a different brand)? Anyway, I would need more explicit instructions please. Specifically, where do I find a "TFTP server" software (which won't wreck my business computers!)? I can manage a telnet session, but that's about all. Thanks for your time.Solved15KViews1like14CommentsSession closed with error when uploading CA certificate

Hello, when logging into the router via telnet and accessing the fw / lan-wan settings, I cannot use the show function nor can I disable or enable any rules. I need this to work for an automated task that should change these parameters. It tells me that I provided too few parameters, however the show functions in the other routing virtual folders seem to work just fine without any additional arguments. Am I missing something, or is there a way to contact Netgear so that they can finally fix this and some other issues in the firmware. Or do I really have to build and flash OpenWrt and do my own, less buggy firmware? Sincerely, Benedikt7.9KViews0likes17CommentsLLDP "Operational MAU type" (802.3 TLV) is zero for GS724Tv3
Versions Model Name Boot Version Software Version B5.1.1.1 5.4.2.19 I've enabled the optional LLDP TLVs on all my ports. When I receive the 802.3 organizationally specific TLV subtype 1, the oerational MAU type is zero. What the operational MAU type should be is 30. The RFC for this is: dot3MauType1000BaseTFD OBJECT-IDENTITY STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Four-pair Category 5 UTP, full duplex mode" REFERENCE "[IEEE 802.3 Std.], Section 40" ::= { dot3MauType 30 } When I check on the web interface, it shows 1000mbit, full duplex. The switch can only do 1000-base-t on 4 pair of unshielded twisted pair. It would be handy to be able to get this information and verify that everything was as it should be. But the latest firmware (just downloaded it) gives a zero. This is the wrong answer ;-) Here's what the dump of the TLV shows: ORG SPECIFIC DUMP: 00120f: DUMP (9 bytes): 00 12 0f 01 03 00 01 00 00 You can read about this in Annex G of the 802.1AB (LLDP) spec. On my copy this spans pages 132 and 133. An OUI of 00-12-0F means it's the 802.3 TLV (as I expect). The last two bytes (octets) are the "operational MAU type". As you can see they are both zero. The only reason for them to be zero is if the type of MAU isn't listed in RFC 3636. But it is. So, it's an error for it to be zero.6.5KViews0likes11Comments
