GS724Tv4 all connected activity leds flashing constantly
I just replaced my recenlty deseased second hand GS724v2 for a GS724tv4 and i am bit overwhelmed with all the new settings and options. The first thing I did after unboxing the switch was updating t...
I think I got it figured now.
I hadn't set PVIDs for the corresponding VLANs, all interfaces had PVID 1.
Now interface 1-5 have PVID 4, and Interface 6-24 have PVID 5.
And now the activity leds have stopped flashing for non active ports.
Is this the correct way to do this? And should the default VLAN be left as it is
Luckily I didn't change the PVID of all the intefaces at once because the switch became unreachable when I changed the the PVID on the interface I was connected to. But after changing the Management VLAN ID number I got it working again. I there to not have a speciffic Management VLAN ID so it's possible to manage the switch using any VLAN IDs?
Hi No_Jah，
Welcome to Netgear Community！
I think there may be some protocal messages in your network so that enven no activity ports still flashing .
can you help to do the following steps to make sure.
1.select a port on switch and make sure there no activity on this port.
2. observe the led
3. If it flashing ，check port statistics via “monitoring>ports>port statistics”.(clear fistly ,waiting about 10 seconds then check it again )
4. If the statistics is only thousands of， I think it normal ，just keep eye on it to make sure it would not effect your network.
5. If there huge munber of statistics，please feed back ，we need to find where these traffic from.
