Problems connecting GS728TP to GS110TP using SFP fibre ports
Hi, I am new to networking and have set up a small home office in my garden connecting the house to the office with SFP Fibre betwween GS728TP (House) to a GS110TP (Office). Data seems to be runnin...
Hi
Yes I finally got to the bottom of the problem. I had a Sonos Play 5 speaker connected to the GS110TP switch. It had previously been in the house and on a Sonos wifi mesh network. It was still connecting to the mesh network in the house as well as the new wired ethernet link creating a network loop.
I found a way to disable the wifi on the Sonos device which is now connected via Ethernet only and the problem has gone
All seems to be working well now. Thanks for checking back
Kind Regards, Andy
Hi DaneA
Thanks for the quick response.
Flow Control is disabled on both switches.
Firmware versions
GS728TP, Boot version: 2.0.0.1, Software version: 6.0.1.16
GS110TP, Boot version: B5.1.0.2, Software version: 5.4.2.22
I have turned everything off and then turned on only what was always in the house and worked along with both GS728TP and GS110TP. I have been able to get onto the admin console with both switches and confirm configurations. I have also changed the switches to a fixed I/P address and checked these are in the correct range as set in my DHCP.
I am now going to check each device in the office one by one to see what causes the problem. Maybe something e.g. Wireless access point has a DHCP server enabled.
Hi Bugner,
Just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to check each device in the office and know the cause of the problem?
