Static IP Configuration on Stacked M5300-28G Switches
Hi there We purchased a couple of M5300-28G switches a few years back. NETGEAR came in and configured them into a stack for us. The stack originally picked up an IP address from our DHCP server...
Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'd already been over those pages but didn't find them very useful :(
The DHCP is already turned off, as I think it should be, since our DC does our local LAN IP distribution?
When I look at page 25 I'm unable to locate the "Initial Setup" menu item it refers to:
And on the specific network configuration screen for IPv4 it states the default IP address, which does still work if you match the range on the machine you're trying to access it from. But it also works with the address we've assigned it via a reservation in the DHCP settings on the DC. I cannot find any reference to this local IP address anywhere on the switch settings, which is strange isn't it?
I've been able to configure our 25 other switches (GS724T's, GS748T's, GS748TP's and some GS110TP's) with static IPs, I just can't figure this stack out...
Kind regards
Dan
Hello SJHCVA,
Sorry it took a little time for me to get back to your. I did a little search and found out that the M5300 and M4100 switches are using device IP and management IP separately. This is very different from the other switches that you have (GS724T's, GS748T's, GS748TP's and some GS110TP's). I have found a forum conversation that has some explanation regarding this. I hope this would put some sense to what I'm saying. Please see the conversation here.
Thanks,
