I can't find my switch's webserver, GS724T
Hi. I've had a GS724T switch lying around for about a year and I decided to boot it up. After numerous attempts, factory resets and restarts, it's still not showing up in my router nor a network scan...
Technically, one would expect the source IP for the DHCP discovery would be 0.0.0.0 instead of any IP possibly configured or the default LAN IP. not the only oddity on several older DHCP client and/or IP stack implementations on such embedded devices.
Needless to say, you need a computer eg. manually configured to that 192.168.0.x ip subnet (this is what the hint for the installation guide should unveil). So temporary configure your computer network adapter to an IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, like 192.168.0.123 - wonders of IPv4 subnetting would give you access to the switch on that 192.168.0.239 address.
From this point, you can figure out what exact model and firmware your GS724T has. there are about ten different GS724T models listed on https://www.netgear.com/support/ - from decades old to newer devices.
Hi. When I go to change my PC's IP address, it asks for all this:
What do I fill these with?
Address 192.168.0.123
Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.10
DNS1 192.168.0.10
DNS2 192.168.0.11
Let Windows know to ignore the checks and apply anyway.
Addresses don't matter as long as these are in that very same subnet (192.168.0.1 ... .254
