GS724Tv4 and HP OfficeJet 9010 Pro, DHCP issue
Hi All,
I have an issue connecting a printer to my Netgear switch (and it working!) that I'm having difficulty tracking down.
I have multiple devices connected already to the switch which all work well, such as TV's, NVRs, and computers.
The printer, when connected directly to the router works perfectly, gets an IP address etc. but connected to the switch (which is in turn connected to the router) and I get a 169.x address (i.e. can't get a DHCP address), and I cant figure out why.
No LAGS, no VLANS, no port security, almost literally default setup.
Anyone got any insights on best way to troubleshoot?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
Solved, Disabled the EcoGreen modes (EEE and Auto Power Down mode) and started getting Acks back from the printer.
