DHCP through GS108Tv2
Dear community,
I am running into a problem with DHCP in my home network.
My DHCP server is a Fritz!Box 7490. Several devices are connected through a GS108T.
It seems that devices connected through the switch do not receive an IP address via DHCP.
The GS108T itself is receiving its IP via DHCP, however.
Has anybody already come across this or does maybe know a solution to get the DHCP traffic through the switch?
I do not Use different VLANs or alike.
Thanks for your help.

Hello community,
I was actually able to resolve the issue myself.
To my embarrassment I noticed that the DHCP filter was enabled but no port was set to trusted.
Disabling the filter or trusting the port to the router gets the DHCP replies forwardet to the DHCP clients.

- Might want to try doing a factory reset. It should operate like a unmanaged switch with default settings.
