The switch is recieving Data through an older fiber converter box (a Fujikura FNT3012-13). The switch, when on the network has intermittent connection. Ping times will be 1ms for about 10 pings then it will drop for a small period of time then will come back on. When it drops I am unable to access the GUI and it is not findable using the netgear smart control utility. HOWEVER, downlink devices remian online and are able to get to the internet without issue.
As the switch and the connected devices work flawless (e.g. for the Internet onnection) the issue seems to be isolated to the management Microcontroller on the GS108PE. There are some conditions the controller (listening to all trafic on the switch) where the Microcontroller cna be overloaded. Hard to say what is happening there - heavy broadcast, heavy Multicast, or probably even a loop?
The fact that fixing the link to the fiber adapter to Fast Ethernet (and Full Duplex) and this seems to make the problem even bigger is more than obscure.
