GS308T issue

Hi all, I have a GS308T connected with 2 nases and other stuff. What is odd is that every time my router (fritzbox 6690) restarts, the port forwarding does not work anymore and I'm forced to re...

Hi Kadaj29,

Thanks for your response.

I will check with Fritzbox as schumaku suggested to see if this is something common in their box. I haven't seen and experienced this before.

Kind regards,

Hi Kadaj29,

Welcome to the community!

Have you tried waiting for the devices to be renegotiated a link to your network (IP address) and until the ports (TCP/UDP) that listen to your port forwarding rules respond? Also, have we checked if the port forwarding rules are directed to the correct IP address of the device(s) when we check if the said rules are forwarded or not?

Kind regards,

BrianL

BrianL Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Indeed, the forwarding is correctly set to the respective devices. Even waiting 30min, the port forwarding is not working. No traps are set in the switch, also DoS is disabled.

  Hi Kadaj29,
  
  This seems odd. Is the switch up to date? Have you tried to reset it factory settings?
  
  Kind regards,

    BrianL Thanks again for your reply.
    
    Indeed odd and no, I did not reset it. Firmware is up to date. I might go ahead and factory reset it, and restore the conf with a backup file and see what happens.

  Port forwarding is a router feature, better talk to AVM, the FritzBox! company.
  
  Not much the switch is involved with, just basic Ethernet.

    schumaku Thanks for your input.
    I did write to AVM, just waiting for a reply. I totally get your point, but i don't understand why this is happening: router up and running, all good, all port forwarding working. Router restarts, port forwarding on all devices connected to the switch blocked. Restarting switch, all good again.
    In the logs of the switch there is nothing, no traps nor blocking rule.
    I don't get it!
    
    I just factory reset the switch, reconfigured from a backup, same story. Could it be a upnp issue? Because the ports i opened manually are getting through, the ones with upnp not.
