managed switch GS108PEV3 browser interface is unreachable
OS: windows 10 model version: GS108PEV3 issue: The switch works fine by sending the internet signal to my desktop PC, and is accessible via the ProSafe Plus Configuration utility, but...
Using a non-standard MTU on the computer network interface? Known issue that MTU different from 1500 are not workable on these switches embedded controller IP stack.
Does the switch have an IP address in the subnet of the router, or does it still show the default 192.168.0.239 address? in this case, your computer interface must be in the same 192.168.0.xxx/24 (255.255.255.0) subnet - this applies also in the case of the direct connection. Note you could use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) to locate the IP address.
Scratch the term Internet signal, the switch does just Ethernet switching, e.g. between the computer and the router.
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly try to disconnect the GS108PEv3 from the existing network. Then, connect a PC directly to it. Try to access its web-GUI using its default IP address which is 192.168.0.239 (if ever your switch has a static IP Address, use that instead). You can also check if you can get replies when you ping the default IP Address of the switch.
