Daisy chain gs108 and 1Gbps not working
Hi all, thank you in advance for your help. I've have two GS108ProSafe switches and I connected them in "daisy chain". The connection between the two of them is working at 100Mbps connection (just t...
Glad to hear its not the switches. Sorry to hear its something within the wiring as its tends to be a pain troubleshooting.
If you mark it as solved, it might help the next person with issues.
Thanks s lot fo your reply.
Connecting a pc straight to a port of the first switch, I get a 1Gbps signal (both led on) no matter which port I use. Same behavior connecting a pc to a port of the second switch (which is brand new). If I connect the two switches together, I get 100Mbps. Just one led is on on the port I use on switch 1 and on the port I use on switch 2 ( no matter the port I use). The connection is done using a short known good cable from switch 1 to the wall (Rj45 plug) then 25meters of cat6 cable and then another short known good cable from the wall to switch 2. The total distance (sum of cables lenght) is around 30 meters. I personally don't see this ad an issue but I might he wrong. I didn't test yet what happens if I put the 2 switches close to each other and I connect then via a single short known good Cable. I let you know asap.

Test done. If I connect the two switches directly with a known good cable, they work at 1Gbps (both leds are on the ports I use). I did a bit of additional trouble shooting: the problem is either the cable in the wall or the connections (rj45 in the wall). I will redo the connections and we'll see. The switches are perfectly fine and I guess we can close this discussion. Thanks a lot.

- It was a faulty connection in the wall plug. Fixed now, the two switches are now working at full speed (1Gbps).
