Can I see the ip address of devices connected to my GS308E switch?
Hi,
I'm new to networking. I was just trying to find the ip address of a Raspberry Pi 5 by connecting it to my GS308E switch, but I cannot see a table of address' on the web browser management page. Should I be able to see this detail with this switch?
Thanks for any advice.

No I'm afraid. These Plus switches (with very few exceptions) are built using unmanaged cores. A tiny uC (micro-controller, 8051 style) is adopted to implement initially the Netgear Switch Discovery Protocol, and later on some clever minds managed to add a very basic IP stack, allowing to implement a simple Web UI to expose the unmanaged switch configuration bits for everything you find in the specs. This is about the only L3 functionality available. More is simply not feasible with the available resources. Note even a simple L2 MAC address table for example is accessible.
