GS305EP no connection to LAN devices
Dear Community,
I have a brand new GS305EP.
It is connected to a cascaded other Netgear Switch in the network.
I can access and configure the new GS305EP switch without any problems.
3 PoE camera devices are connected to the switch and one non powered AccessPoint, ports 1-4
Uplink is on port 5
The devices seems to be up and running and they are producing lots of packets - at least the port statistic tells me so
But I am not able to access the devices that are connected to the switch from the network side.... đ€
Any idea why?
Reset to factory settings didn't change anything.
I had a non managed switch in use before, that worked without any problems.
Best regards and thanks in advanced đ
Uwe

An GS305EP is very similar to an unmanaged switch, especially in it's default config without any VLAN configuration. There is no routing, no ACL or the like. Just a tiny controller which does allow some switch configuration - so far off from a managed, or even a smart managed switch. Attached devices are able to get a network config from the router DHCP server, too.
Had reconfigured the attached computer and the switch to an IP config in a different IP subnet probably?
