I obtained this switch which works fine as a gigabit device. However resetting it via the external reset switch , appears to reset by the looks of the CPU light , as well as all current connections are reset. At the same time , the switch is still unavailable via it's default IP. The network is running within the same subnet as the default IP, I have also set the mac address ( obtained from the case itself ) to it's static IP within the firewall / network appliance, as well as tried others , within the same subnet. Using the 'smart console utility' , the switch also does not get noticed. Even typing in the default IP, it flags it as null. Using arp -a on the firewall appliance lists all static addresses, since there are so many, IF the mac was in the arp tables, I could not see the listing, to see if it has assigned itself an IP due to some human error on my part. Manually arp {mac address} returns 'unknown host' The switch is pretty much useless without the ability to configure it. Outside of course a gigabit hub , for what I have going as i say , useless. Idea's of any kind are welcome ! thanks edit: it has no serial port either, telnet is out (being TCP utility and I have no IP ) thats out edit: I've also tried a tcpdump by isolating the device running a crossover cable with the following command ~ tcpdump -i en0 -s 0 -B 524288 -w ~/Desktop/DumpFile01.pcap It would appear as if the device is not listening for any DHCP server , acting as one , or accepting any commands from anywhere.
