2x gs116 wont link
I have 2x GS116 switches. The first is my primary switch, out of the router. The second is in my server room, and port 1 is connected with a straight-through cable to the second. It will not link ...
Well, further testing showed that the problem is with the ports on the left side of the switch.
I was not able to get any lights from hosts or the uplink on the left side, but the ports on the right side did work.
I contacted the seller on ebay and he agreed to a return.
So, I believe the switch is defective.
Yes, I was able to return the switch.
However, I located a switch from another vendor.
That's alright. Thanks for the update. :)
