Should the R8000 UI see devices connected via a GS308 switch?
In the supplied user interface, on the Basic tab, "attached devices/wired devices" area, should I be seeing any info at all (like status, IP, MAC address) for devices on a connected GS308v2 or is ...
You should see all devices connected to the switch

The location of the third device is farthest from the switch and I have no "known good" cables that long. But I might unmount the device and bring it closer or just wait to get a cable that I can always use.
If possible, you could take another, more portable, LAN device to the remote end of the cable and see if that works.
Or disconnect and move the cable and use it to connect known good devices.
You will kick yourself if it turns out to be something other than the cable.
Again, maybe you tried this.
I replaced the long(ish) cable and all is fine now.
All devices on the GS308 are doing their thing on the network and I can see them all as "wired" devices from the R8000 'basic,attached devices' and 'advanced, security, access control" displays.
Thanks lots for all the help!

That's good. Now you have a high quality clothes line to dry the washing.
