Prosafe Plus utility not seeing my 8-port GS608 Switch?

I am trying to check the config of my 8-port GS608v3 on my home network but the Prosafe Utility which I have for prosafe 16-port switch is not seeing the 8-port switch?

I have tried to find the MAC address for the 8-port switch to see the IP address to use a GUI to check it but no luck so far. 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

 

  • The GS608v3 is (like all other unmanaged switches) a pure L2 device, does not have a MAC address nor can it be "discovered" or configured in any magic way.
