    Jeremyse,

     

    I got your private message and forwarded the diagnostics file to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support to check it. 

     

    I just got feedback and it was confirmed that there are network parameters set to 169.254.0.239.  This is the cause on why the switch advertise this as its Mngt IP Address.  The only way to clear this is to factory reset the switch and reconfigure it.  To reconfigure it, be sure to delete it from NETGEAR Insight then re-add it.  Do NOT reload the configuration on the switch but be sure to reconfigure the settings via NETGEAR Insight. 


     

    Regards,
