gs305E - not visible?

I have this for a local hub/switch for a vew clustered devices.

It works fine, and the "NetGear Discovery Tool "locator software finds it and reports IP & MAC.

But I cannot ping it, and it does not show up in a network IP scan, and does not answer to a browser page.

  • Oops, my mistake - it had somehow failed on DHCP, and its default static was on a different segment. Reboot solved it (universal solution?S).
