GS1xxE and their PoE equivalents. Getting them an IP using DHCP on a specific vlan.
Hello to anyone taking the time to read this. I have close to a dozen netgear GS1xxE switches at my home and various family member's homes by now and swear by the things. Vlan tagging is a must for our various setups and these switches haven't disapointed yet. However , when it comes to configuring them, the fact one is incapable of selecting the vlan on which the things do their DHCP negotiating forces me to use fixed IP's. In essence this isn't all that bad. But adding this to the firmware isn't something unreasonable to ask I would think. http://i.imgur.com/JZEvBx4.png http://i.imgur.com/p9evrYY.png Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply. If you also think this slight oversight should be rectified please do reply.
vlan (ipv6 futureproofing)
Hi, We have a SRX5308 and a couple of FVS336 as well as a few other routers. We are futureproofing our corporate network by deploying ipv6 in parallel of ipv4. our address scheme was chosen as to be as simple for the admins as possible : ipv4 : 10.bbb.ccc.ddd (where bbb also denotes the vlan) ipv6 : fdgg:gggg:gggg:bbb::ccc:ddd:1 it's been deployed within the network, and it runs fine, no issues. our primary firewall-routerchain (not netgear) is also updated and works. I'm now trying to configure one of the netgear, and I'm discovering the issue where the ipv6 mode doesn't support vlan (at least through the GUI). is there any way to actually make ot work (telnet ?) or am I wasting my time, and should at some point replace them with other hardware ?
