This is an unmanaged switch connected to a GS105 unmanaged switch. I have two questions: (1) On the link between the GS108 and the host The left light is green, the right not light; (2) Anything to b...
This is a short part borrowed fro the GS105(v5) Installation Guide, very similar in the GS108(v4) Installation Guide - only the left LED indicates a 100 Mb/s (Fast Ethernet) link only. On a complete and healthy cable, a Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mb/s) must be established.
Hard to say what is killing the DHCP process here ...

Should work like a charm, permitting the cable isn't to bad.
