GS716Tv2 switch. PCs connected via it do not get DHCP IP assigned
Hello, I have recently upgrade/rewire my whole networking in the office to CAT-6. it was a long way comming as the whole wiring was way too old (at least 20yo most of it and not properly done to ...
Hi vrykin,

Thanks,
Hello vrykin,
Welcome to the community!
I'd like to know the version of the GS108 (you can send me a PM of the serial number, but it usually has a label on the bottom). The GS108 switch is very straightforward, passthrough switch. One thing you need to check is if its connected properly to your DHCP server and its has an IP (shown on your IP table of the DHCP server).
Thanks,
hello JohnRo,
the GS108 is not the problem. I know it is a straight hub.
the problem is ,or should I say was, the GS716Tv2 switch.
there is nothing obviouse with it. it boots up , it works , no logs or anytihng indicating problems.
it is also set to defaults and is not managed in any way but setting the name and IP on it.
except any PC connected to it can not go through to the DHCP server.
set static IP to any device connected to this switch and all is peachy, use DHCP setting on device and its acts like there is no active network. sets the IP to 169.x.x.x
as soon as I removed the GS716T from use all is working.
Hello vrykin,
That is strange, as long as it is connected to a DHCP server it should just forward the lease of IP address. Please contact our Support Team regarding this issue.
Thanks,
I would but the switch is 5yo. so no warranty.
