Hi there. My Nighthawk was working just great until this morning when I changed the wiring around a little for my network. Powering everything back up the xswitch works just fine apart from one problem and that is that the admin page has disappeared.
I ran the Discovery Tool and it seems the Admin page has defaulted back to sub network 0, which is unfortunate becuase my network is 1.
I don't know why it is not picking up the correct subnetwork number since in fact that didn't change in all of this. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Devices connected to the S8000 switch are working as expected after picking up DHCP configs? If yes, restart (power off, power on) the switch.
The point is that the switch does not try to pick-up a DHCP config forever. If the connection to the router (DHCP server) is not available for a while, the switch does fall back to the default IP address 192.168.0.239 and stick there until reboot or a static IP is configured.
I don't know why it wasn't available but it's good to know this can happen. I managed to sort it out by resetting the switch. I guess though a better course of action would have been to just leave it alone, except for the fact that I did want to change it's configuration.
