As per #2394 I encountered the same problem. My Netgear GS108Tv2 switch kept timing out, looking at the pcap I can see it that is still uses the pager:

The proposed fix in #2394 seems to never been merged, although it does fix this issue for my switch. Perhaps @candlerb never submitted a pull request. Can the fix be added to the netgear model? I can create a PR myself, but I think credits should go where credits are due :-)

Please submit a PR. You can include @candlerb in the CHANGELOG.md and in the commit log. Submitting the PR is also some work, so it is okay if you get part of the credit :-).
