Setting static IP on GS108tv2
Hi there,
I have home static internet so my ISP basically assigns me one IP address that I assign to one device in the house. How would I assign this IP to my GS108tv2 switch? I tried filling in the required information as per the setup guide but it doesnt seem to accept the IP and provide DHCP on the other ports. Any information is appreciated.

Hello supadups,
Welcome to the community!
What you need is a router. :) There are two things you are missing here, NAT and DHCP server function and both of them are not supported by the GS108Tv2. NAT maps your entire local network to the IP address given to you by the ISP, it is necessary when the number of IP address provided by the ISP is less than the number of devices that will use the internet.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
