Can't reset switch to factory defaults
Hello, I've tried the paperclip that usually works for my other switches. Tried 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds, 15 seconds, 25 seconds over and over - still doesn't reset. I hooked up a usb to mini cable and connected to the mini console port which shows up in device manager as Silicon labs CP210x USB to uart (Com3) I try to attach using Com3 in Putty - no response- pressed enter many times I hooked up my old serial RS232 to USB to an RJ45 adapter - it shows up in device manager as Aten USB to serial Bridge (COM6) I try to attach using Com6 in Putty - no response- pressed enter many times I've done Extreme, Cisco, HP, Dell and Avaya switches but am scratching my head on the Netgear. Can you help a Netgear user try to get access to his M4300 switch?
AV VLAN uplink to public manage switch
Hi All: At our educational facility we are redesigning an existing 2 x room AV system with "cross-room" Audio Visual broadcast connectivity using Crestron Digital Media architechture Each room has a dedicated Crestron DMPS-4K-350-C + DMPS-4K-250-C units with with TV displays, Microphones and Camera's. We have a new Audio Visual private VLAN link between 2 x rooms using core Netgear AV Line switches being programmed for the Crestron Graphic User Interface control in each space. Netgear M4250-9G1F-PoE+ network switch (smaller room 1) + Netgear M4250-26G4F-PoE+ (GSM4230P (larger room 2) My question is for how we can securely manage the AV endpoints inside the private AV VLAN? Crestron virtual X-panel touch screen control is needed + two DMPS hardware units, Biamp audio processors; we need IP control into this new private AV-VLAN from our existing public managed Switch local subnet. I would like to create an ethernet patch uplink from the core Netgear M4250-26G4F-POE (same AV system rack as our Crestron Managed switch) into our local managed public subnet switch which is a Crestron CEN-SW-POE16 Any thoughts on the best way to configure this would be appreciated. Thank youEngage Onboarding Issue
We have 15 M4250 switches running our AV network. Recently, we realized two of those switches were assigned the same IP. Because of this, only one of the devices was showing on the Engage Dashboard. We did a hard reset on one of the switches (the one that was showing) so that we could assign it a new IP. Now the one switch that I reset will not show in Engage. I went through the Main UI to assign it a new IP address and when entering that IP into "Add Device" on Engage, I'm met with the message that the "device is already onboarded". How can I clear it from onboarding so I can set it up as a new device? Or at the very least, get it to show in Engage?No internet after switch is plugged in
I have a GS305v3 unmanaged switch that I just bought and attempted to use. It is connected to my internet via cat6 cable that I ran from my office in my house where my router/modem is located, to my bedroom. When I connect any device to the ethernet port that I put in the bedroom, I have no issues connecting to the internet. But if I plug the switch into the port, then any device to the switch, no internet is passing through. All lights on the switch illuminate as they should according to the manual, but I can't seem to find any info as to what the problem possibly is. For a clear picture of how all the hardware is set up: Fiber internet direct to router/modem in office Cat6 cable to ethernet port in office Cat6 cable from office ethernet port to bedroom ethernet port through the attic Any device connected directly to ethernet port in bedroom works perfectly with 1000mbps+ download Switch plugged direct to ethernet port, devices plugged into switch, no internet to any devices Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance to anyone who offers advice.GSM4328S spuriously after powering up, shows power led amber on, and stucks
M4300 (GSM4328S) spuriously after powering up, shows power led amber on, and stucks. Need to disconnect and connect again power supply, and then works. I don't know if someone is experiencing this issue. Maybe is a hardware issue. We are using lots of those switches for several different projects in our company, and we are experiencing in the last purchased units (more than 20) this upsetting issue. We don't know how we can diagnose the problem. Anyone could help us?
