EDIT: Figured out what the matter was here: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1040764063&postcount=7
Hello, all!
A few weeks ago, we got in a shipment of a couple of Trendnet switches to replace ones that died over the summer.
I hooked one up, absolutely no problem (this one: http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-16-P...F8&qid=1376386527&sr=8-1&keywords=trendnet+16).
However, when I plugged the other one (http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Unma...TF8&qid=1376386720&sr=8-1&keywords=trendnet+8) into the SAME manageable Netgear GS724T V2 that the 16-port Trendnet was working fine with, it wouldn't communicate.
At the time, I didn't think much about it. I just plugged it into the 16-port Trendnet (which it communicates with fine), and went on my way.
However, tonight I have been working on setting up VLANs. All of the devices plugged into the 16-port switch need to be on one VLAN, while the 8-port Trendnet needs to be on another... Since it doesn't communicate with the Netgear (what I am using to manage VLANs), I am unable to do this directly.
Currently how I have it set up, is I took a 5-port Netgear switch we have here, and just used it as the mediator between the two switches.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be? Even for switches that it does communicate with, it takes a good 15-20 seconds before the lights come on. I'm hoping it's something I can fix locally... With the cost of shipping from here to the states, we might as well just buy another one.
Thanks!
