Gc510pp not connecting in insight
I just recently purchased a gc510pp and when setting it up it is not pulling any IP address. If I plug it into my xr500 and then plug my computer into the switch I can connect to internet but when I go to insight it is still stuck on waiting for first connect. I have tried a different cable, resetting the switch, and tried finding the default IP address. The switch does not show up when using the switch discovery tool either

Something worth trying is to put a computer with an adapter into the 192.168.0.x/24 subnet, something like 192.168.0.123 255.255.255.0, and try to reach the switch on its default IP 192.168.0.239
Edit: Another point:Does the XR500 has some security configured, like issuing DHCP IP configs or Internet access to trusted/allowed MAC addresses only?
