2 x GS110TP switches fiber - SFP to SFP and then 1 hop back to main office GS110TPv1 SFP
We have a (#1) GS110TPv in the main office on a seperate zone for Sonicpoints connected on its own wireless zone in a sonicwall. We have a fiber run from (#1 switch) to the back of the warehouse to a (#2 switch) GS110TPv2 where there are 8 Access Points connected via POE and everything works great. We needed to extend the wireless even further so we purchased a (#3 switch) GS110TPv3. We had fiber run from the warehouse (#2 switch) back to the far warehouse where we put the new (#3 switch). We are using identical GBICS on both ends of both warehouse switches (10GEK 1000-SX MMF LC) and both sides light up on both #2 and #3. Is there any reason why I cant ping the (#3 switch) GS110Tpv3 and the new access point isnt up either in the very far warehouse so I know its not communication back the main office #1 switch on the wlan zone. I would image that I can hop from the far warehouse #3 switch via SFP to SFP over the other warehouse #2 switch to get back to the main office #1 switch.
Am I missing something here? This should work or does this have something to do with the new v3 version and compatible GBICS and not using official Netgears AG731f

Is this zone built on a single flat network, all VLAN 1 untagged, PVID 1? Especially if there is a more complex VLAN config,
compare the VLAN and the trunk port configs on #2 and #3.
Connect a PC to #3, discover the switch/IP address [expet either the one statically configured before the installation, or it's default 192.168.0.239], configure the PC adapter to that IP subnet accordingly.
Capture the Tech Support Info (Maintenance -> Troubleshoot -> Tech Support Info) from both #2 and #3.
Open a support ticket on the new #3 via https://my.netgear.com/ and include share links (e.g. Google Drive) of the tech support info files - potential issue with the 3rd party SFP would become visible there I hope.Yes, this is a flat, no VLANS and completely seperated from the LAN. Very straight forward by setting up on another zone on the inteface on the Sonciwall like this on the X3 inteface. There is no issue with the inteface as or sonicpoints, just cant seem to get to the new switch #3. I did preconfigure the switch ahead of time and gave it a static ip address. Installed the latest firmware and everything was good to go. I am really wondering about the GBIC. If this is the case, I will know today becasue I puchased a couple offical NETGEAT AGM731F and they just arrived. I will post what I find out when I install the new GBICS on both end of the switches
