Random Link Loss on ALL GS108Tv3 Switches
NOTE: GS108Tv3 is not in the Model dropdown list; good going, guys... I have deployed almost a dozen GS108T switches for a client. Of the (2) v3 units so far, both suffer from random loss of link...
Welcome to the community! :)
As far as I have checked, there is no issue logged for the GS108Tv3 as per described in your initial post. Was everything working fine before?
Kindly try to perform a factory reset on your GS108Tv3 switches and reconfigure the settings from scratch. Then observe if the same problem will occur.

There was no "before", this has been an issue since we began receiving v3 switches instead of v2 units. Since I am not onsite daily, it took us a couple of weeks to determine what was happening. These switches have been reset/reconfigured many times with no change/improvement. I also confirmed the same issue when the units are uplinked through fiber adapters as well as other Netgear switches.
The issue has significantly lessened under firmware 7.0.7.2, all units stayed up for more than 24 hours in the last 2 days. I see (1) of these offline again now, the facilities manager is going to take a look at it for me now. I will advise.
The facilties manager just confirmed the same issue on an updated v3 switch. He found the unit with no link light/connectivity on the uplink port (port 2). Moving that Ethernet to any other port obtained link. Replacing it back in port 2, no link lights unless the unit is power cycled. This unit is on 7.0.7.2. All units are on UPS, of course. If you have log I can pull, etc. I am happy to do so, but to this point all v3 units have done this repeatedly regardless of where they are on campus.
Thank you for the update. Since you already did a factory reset and confirmed that the same issue happened on the updated GS108Tv3 switches, I advised you to open a support ticket with NETGEAR Support here at anytime for further assistance. Kindly state your concern and the troubleshooting steps you performed to isolate the problem. You can also include the link to this thread.
