GS305P bocks connection to Internet
Unable to connect through this unmanaged switch. Direct to Comcast modem is ok. The switch is used for a 4 camera surveillance system on Windows 10.
I have the Comcast cable modem with WiFi and 4 Ethernet ports (3 available). The POE camera is an Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM and the unmanaged switch is a Netgear GS305P. IIR, the issues began when I connected the switch. I’ve reconnected the camera directly to the Optiplex 7040 (1 Ethernet port) to see if Xeoma (surveillance software) can see the camera.
Of the unmanaged switch, I see that ports 1-4 are marked as POE and #5 is not identified as for POE.
When Xeoma can see the camera, I would like to know how to connect the unmanaged switch to the Ubuntu box. At that time I’ll look at the cable box’s IP settings.

Since port 5 is not PoE supporting, I would connect the GS305P to the host router using port #5. Connect any PoE ethernet devices to ports 1 thru 4 on the GS switch. Connecting other non PoE devices, PCs or laptops, to the host routers LAN ports and then you should be able to access devices that are connected to the GS switches PoE ports for there web pages.

At that time I’ll look at the cable box’s IP settings.On IEEE industry standard compliant PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ switches (802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3be), there is a signalling and/or handshke before poower is applied to the port, the line, and the PD, the powered device.You can connect and Ethernet device to any port, regardless if its PoE port, or not.
Things might be different on cheap "passive-PoE" systems.
