GS724TV6 - Refuses to get DHCP address non 192.168.0.x address
I have two GS724TV6 that I want to configure and set up on my network. The network is a Verizon FIOS router that serves as DHCP to a Netgear GS724TV4. I also have a few 8 port Netgear switches o...
If you use VLANs, then double-check that they are all configured correctly.
I had a similar issue with a GS708v3. It turned out I had accidently misconfigured a VLAN port on another switch, which ended up putting VLAN 1 traffic on two trunks going into the GS708v3. That didn't result in a flood (not completely sure what prevented it), but it did result in the switch not getting a DHCP address.
see my note below - reset the switch to default. It works with a switch to PC when PC is configured to 192.168.0.1. If I change the switch and PC to explicitly be 192.168.1.1 and switch to 192.168.1.239 I can't event connect with HTTP. Network discovery tool doesn't work with either config.
All your newer explanations make perfect sense.
On a pure experimental approach, with the switch configured with the DHCP client active, I would check if the switch does not broadcast the DHCP discovery request on all ports - before it does fall-back to the 192.168.0.239/24 default config.
Also worth a try? Factory reset using the reset button - press and hold for some 3..5 seconds till the switch dies restart.
Definitely a case for NETGEAR customer service, especially because it appears the two switches are almost factory new.
Something is very fishy. A serial production issue for example.
