Insight Smart Cloud Switches 8/10-port models now support static routing!
Did you know? With the newest firmware release 1.0.4.6, all 8-port/10-port models of the Insight Smart Cloud switches now support static routing, just like the larger port-count rackmount models! IPv4/IPv6 Static routing allows for a simple way to provide segmentation of the network with internal routing through the switch – reserving the router for external traffic routing only, making the entire network more efficient. Currently, static routing needs to be setup using the local-only web GUI, but will soon be available in the Insight mobile app and Insight Cloud portal, so stay tuned for that!GC110 & GC110P - Crashing / Restarting Every 2 Days on Firmware 1.0.5.35 (3 Switches)
Hi Friends, I have 3 switches (GC110 and GC110P) managed via Insight. A few months ago they all started crashing / restarting themselves - strangely about every 2 days, 6 hours (I kept a spreadsheet!). Each would restart by itself, and then be fine again for another couple of days. All were on firmware 1.0.5.35 (latest) and I can find nothing useful in the log just prior to the crashes. On reboot it does say in the log "SIM Cnfgr_Thread - : sim_util.c(3927) 8 %% Switch was reset due to power disruption or unexpected restart." In desperation I reverted one switch back to 1.0.5.32, and it hasn't crashed since. The other two kept crashing. I've now downgraded another one to 1.0.5.32 and it's been stable for 8+ days too. The remaining switch I've left on 1.0.5.35 and it crashes almost like clockwork. Anybody come across this before with firmware 1.0.5.35? Can't see anything in the firware release notes. Thanks for any ideas! :smileyvery-happy: Nick.How can I use the SFP/SFP+ ports on my Insight Switch?
How can I use the SFP/SFP+ ports on my Insight Switch? So you bought a new Insight Managed Smart Cloud switch, and you'd like to use all the ports, but don't have fiber runs in your environment. What can you do? Actually, you can use the ports with RJ45 copper Ethernet, just by inserting an SFP-to-Copper GBIC from NETGEAR! For the GC110, GC110P, GC510P, GC510PP, as well as the 2 Gigabit SFP ports on the GC728X, GC728XP, GC752X, and GC752XP, you can purchase one (or two if going to another fiber connection on another switch) AGM734 module(s)(one for each end of the connection) and then use CAT5e or better cable to connect the Insight switch to the other Insight Switch (or other Gigabit Ethernet switch). Note that you can use the AGM734 GBIC in the 10G SFP+ ports on the GC728X, GC728XP, GC752X, and GC752XP models as well for Gigabit speed connections to the other device/switch. For the 10G SFP+ connections available on the GC728X, GC728XP, GC752X, and GC752XP models, you can use NETGEAR AXM735 GBIC(s) to connect two 10G switches (or device to the switch) using CAT6a or better copper Ethernet cabling. Of course, you can also use standard fiber connections on the SFP and SFP+ ports as well for long-distance connections between the Insight switches (or other devices with fiber connections). Check the datasheets for the specific model you have to get all of the available compatible GBICs and cables available from NETGEAR. Visit the NETGEAR Modules and Accessories page to find SFP transceivers.
