ping a gs105v4 gigabit switch
Hi guys, First aplogies if theres already a step by step procedure on how to ping to this switch in this forum. I only have one computer available to me at the moment and I would like to simply ...
ok ill go and install ProSafe Plus and post back afterwards
hey thanks for your help :smileyhappy:
Hi EricZ,
So, Im still not showing anything when I use the ProSafe Plus.. I did some more research and I noticed that the "Local Area Connection" (when i connect an ethernet cable to the switch) is showing as "unidentified network". I think perhaps maybe this is contributing to the problem. I have no idea at this point and I have also tried a whole laundry list of ideas to resolve the "unidentified network" status as well.
Hi marcosgu,
What's your network topo?
Internet----Router-----gs105v4-----PC?
You mean when the PC connected to gs105v4, the LAN showing as 'unidentified network', and the PC cannot get IP address?
We double confirm again, the switch gs105v4 is an unmanaged switch, actually this switch doesn't have management IP, so PC cannot ping Switch and cannot manage it. This Switch only passthrough all of the traffic and do not deal with it.
I suggest you can check whether PC can ping Router not?
