I have two of the GS716v2 that I need to install in a temporary work area for employee's. About 10 people per switch plus a SonicWall SonicWave AP (only 3 users will use Wifi). These switches connect via fiber (work fine). Its a single flat network.
Besides adding a static IP to the device (if thats even necessary), what are the other basic setup points that need to be done? Is this switch "ready out of the box". I had these switches available but a unmanaged switch would have sufficed also.
Also I'll mention I can't see the SonicWave device on the SonicWall. But i think thats another issue.
All these switches come out of the box with a flat L2 network config. bandwidth requirements permitting one fiber link per switch is sufficient - there you go.
I would ensure the switches are managed resp. secured. Take control, change the default password, configure a static IP or set-up a MAC-IP reservation on the DHCP server so the switches can be reached and monitored at least, configure SNMP security or disable it.
