    Netgear M4100 question

    Thank you for the VERY good explanation. I had suggested the Netgear M4100 switch based on the review from this website (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-reviews/32087-netgear-m4100-d12g-intelligent-edge-switch-reviewed) and it mostly has lived up to the review. I also looked at...

    Netgear M4100 question

    As stated in my last post, the Envisionware server and the network printer are static IPs. All the rest of the computers run DHCP from the Cisco/Linksys router. We are only using the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. The purpose of this exercise was to shield the staff computers from anyone...

    Netgear M4100 question

    Just about done and most stuff working fine. Still have one major problem. First to reiterate the configuration: Comcast coming in to a Motorola Cable Modem SB5120 wired direct to Cisco/Linksys WRT54G router (WiFi turned off, DHCP turned on) Wired direct to Netgear M4100. On the...

    Netgear M4100 question

    Netgear M4100 *ANSWER* First off, thanks to all (excluding Netgear that is) for all the help. Here's how the problem was resolved. After trying to install the USB/UART software from the Netgear DVD, which wouldn't install, I downloaded their latest version from Netgear's website. Tried...

    Netgear M4100 question

    This would be the preferred method. However, I need to discover what IP address the switch has. Right now, the only network discovery tool available is The Dude (http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude) and after I run discover in that program, the switches MAC address doesn't show up. Can you...

    Netgear M4100 question

    After all the great help I rec'd over in the VLAN section, hopefully my newest questions will also be answered. I help out at a local library and they recently purchased a M4100-D12G switch. I have been tasked with the installation. Here's my problem. The network at the library is all...

    VLAN question

    I meant the question more along the lines of "Does it matter which I do first?". Hence the: 1. Make the printer VLAN a member of the staff and public VLANs OR 2. Make the staff and public VLANs a member of the printer VLAN Of course in the interim period, one of the TrendNet...

    VLAN question

    OK, thanks to all for the help. Switch should be here next week. I have 2 implementation questions. There will be 1 VLAN for staff and 1 VLAN for public. The network printer, which both VLANs need access to, will be on a 3rd VLAN. Which would be better: 1. Make the printer VLAN a...

    VLAN question

    The reason I looked at the Netgear M4100 is that it's available for about $195-$200, that's pretty much the total budget for this venture :'-(( Beyond that, your analysis is correct. All devices on one dumb switch would be one VLAN, all the devices on the other dumb switch would be the other...

    VLAN question

    VLAN quetion Wow, talk about a FAST response! I've been looking at hardware all morning based on all your suggestions. I really like Cisco products, I've had friends that have used them in the past and nothing but good to say about them. Problem is most of the models suggested are over...

    VLAN question

    I have already downloaded and printed that particular article. It helped, A LOT! The Envisionware program requires both the printer and the Envisionware "server" to be static IPs, all the other public computers are served via DHCP via the Cisco Linksys WRT54G wireless router. What EV does...

    VLAN question

    Yes, I'm new here. I've searched all over the net, including many mfgrs sites and still can't find an answer. I was impressed with what I read here so here goes. I help out at a small, local library. We have 23 what we call "patron" computers, they are for public use. We also have 10...
