Admin Page of GS108Ev3 not acessible
Hi Guys,
since years i am using 2 GS108Ev3 Switches in my homenetwork without any problems.
The first directly connected to my Fritzbox.
The second is in my livingroom with my whole homecinema equipment connected to it.
Shortly the power supply of my livingroom switch broke down. After replacement i saw performance problems/slow transfer speeds when transfering files trough the network (from HTPC to the NAS). Therefore i wanted to check the configuration of the switches.
No problem with the livingroom switch. it was found on the NETGEAR SWITCH DISCOVERY TOOL, Admin Page was acessible, i upgraded the FW and switched the speed of all ports to 100M full. After that Transfer speed was still too low (around 1 MB/s).
Now i wanted to access the switch at the Fritzbox. This is found on the discovery tool but when i want to access the Admin Page all i get is Time Out messages.
Then i tried it through the Prosafe Plus Utility. The swith is found, when i select it i get asked for the password, but after entering the PW i get the error message that the swith and the manager IP are not in the same subnet. This is stange because the PC the manger is running on is DIRECTLY connected to the fritzboix switch through LAN....
What is going wrong here? How can i configure my switch again??
Summary: After setting the speed on all Ports back to AUTO and rebooting both switches everything is back to normal again. File transfer speed around 100 MB/s

Short update: After making the switch shortly powerless i was now able to access the admin page through the discovery tool. The FW of all 2 switches is now up to date, the speed on all ports is set to 100M full but unfortunately the file transfer speed is still very low (around 1MB/s, previously i was able to transfer files around 100MB/s), even after rebooting my Fritzbox and my NAS.
Any idea were this problem is coming from? Just to mention: Of course also in the Fritzbox all Ports are set to Power-Mode (1Gbit/s).

Only Fast Ethernet devices connected or wiring not allowing Gigabit Ethernet (e.g. to the other switch)? Something fishy...

Nothing strange - TCP/IP does require two systems on the same LAN to be in the very same IP subnet. It does not matter where the switch is connected to. To access the switch (assuming on it's default 192.168.0.239/24 network) you could either enable the router DHCP server and reboot that switch so it does pick-up an address from your subnet, or configure any system on the network to an address in the 192.168.0.x/24 (255.255.255.0) subnet.
