Questions about connecting my ISP's Pace Gateway 5268AC
My uverse residential gateway (router) was replaced with a Pace 5268AC router. When I tried to connect my current Netgear GS748t-v4 switch, The pace router does not "see" it. Is there anything I can ...
Yes ... in fact, I tried to plug it in directly to one of 4 ethernet ports on the back of the Router.
I have only one network domain - no subnets. All IP's are assigned by the DHCP server on the router.
Whats the ip address of the switch? What's the DHCP pool on the router? Is the Ip address for the switch in the same subnet as the router?
EDIT: FYI, 192.168.0.1/24 is considered a subnet, not a domain.
I don't know the IP of the switch - that's the problem. I don't see it in the list of connected devices on the router. And it doesn't show up when running the discovery tool.
The DHCP pool on the router is default (192.168.1.64 - 253). The switch was set to get its IP address from the DHCP pool of the router.
Why it's not showing up and yet the connected devices to the switch are clearly getting their own IP address and do show up. The switch, for whatever reason, is Hidden .
You should get familiar with the switch documentation - Switch IP Address link - took under a minute to find the links..
I don't think I am being clear.
I know the switch documentation. I have had this switch for years. It works great. I even changed out the fans to make it quiet.
The default IP setting was changed to fit the switch into my network. It is not the DHCP server, the router is ....
But it can't connect to the router for some reason. Any thoughts on that?
