When planned for, its a way to spend less on your equipment. Unfortunately, sometimes people get caught in a situation realizing the hard-way, that they are missing some expected functionality. As a last resort, I'd look into somehow hacking/activating the functionality. Perhaps an alternate firmware can be forced on it. -- Espi On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 6:53 PM, J- P <[email protected]> wrote: Looks like you hit the nail on the head, per this article i need either a 2nd switch, or use the firewall https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26167971/Netgear-GS748T-setting-up-several-VLAN's-but-having-DHCP-broadcasting-across-all-ports.html From: [email protected] Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 17:16:10 -0700 Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] VLAN dhcp issue Netgear GS748Tv5 To: [email protected] Hi J-P, I didnt really see a question in your initial post, but if I'm understanding your frustration correctly: If there are no DHCP helper options, I dont see how this could work. DHCP is a broadcast protocol, and needs a helper mechanism to cross networks. I can only assume that this model is a lower-tiered option that is meant to be stacked with a higher-tiered managed switch. I saw a similarly themed question posted here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-Click-Switches/Why-have-none-of-Netgear-s-L2-switches-a-DHCP-relay-agent/td-p/500749 -- Espi On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 1:29 PM, J- P <[email protected]> wrote: Anyone, Bueller, Jean-Paul Natola From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] VLAN dhcp issue Netgear GS748Tv5 Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2016 19:47:11 -0400 Hi all, I've been testing VLAN on a GS748tv5 I emphasize v5 as netgear tends to create different devices and only differentiate them by the version , as a matter of fact this device does not have a "ip-helper, or dhcp relay" options (yes I know, its old , and crappy anyway), So I created vlan5 , assigned it an IP 192.168.5.1 , added the firewall port and test pc port to the vlan and since I have no option for ip-helper or DHCP relay, the PC received no ip address (and yes, I did create the DHCP scope 192.168.5.x on my 08r2 server, ) If I give the pc a static address (i.e 192.168.5.x ) I can then successfully ping 192.168.5.1 , further research said to enable DHCP option 82 on the DHCP server; https://www.google.com/search?q=dhcp+option+82&ie=&oe= which of course doesn't exist in 08, so I tried to manually create option 82, still no joy- if anyone can share any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated and before anyone asks, there is no CLI, no Shell, no Terminal on this POS switch Jean-Paul Natola
