ok this is way over my head, i have zero networking exp..

hopefully someone can understand this email i just got !

Sorry to mail you with my network problems!
We have a complete network running off of a FS752TS switch and I am trying to
attach a GS716T to this network, I plug the additional switch onto the network
and the original and the new switches just flash madly!
There is still network access, but it isn’t ideal.

Do you know if there is a way to add an additional switch to a network with out
all of these problems?
I have tried resetting the FS and then turning on the GS, but I haven’t tried
turning the FS off, then adding the GS, turning on the GS and then in with the
FS.
Just after some fresh ideas really!

I would have popped this on the forums, but I didn’t want the desert rats to pop
up on our web usage!


thanks in advance :)
 
assuming they don't have 2 routers -- there is usually an uplink port (expansion) for connecting swtches in series. plug the second switch into the original switch's uplink port. that should be it. yuo can string up to 64, 128 256 ports together depending on th switch.

if 2 routers you have to disable routing in the new one.e
 
Usually the uplink is the last port on the router/switch. If there is a seperate uplink port, it usually requires that you don't use the port next to it. E.g.

[1][2][3][4][5]-

Means that you can either use port [5] or the uplink port, but not both.

The condition you descrbe sounds like the other network device is a HUB and not a switch. Hubs send out lots of garbage traffic.
 
FS728TS, FS752TS, and FS752TPS Smart Switches: Common Questions


How many switches can be stacked?
A stack has up to six FS700TS series ( FS728TS or TS752TS or FS752TPS ) switches, with a maximum of 192 fast Ethernet ports. For example, if all the switches were FS728TS, the stacks could have a maximum of 6 units ( 6 * 24 = 144 ). If all the switches were FS752TS, the stack could have a maximum of 4 units ( 4 * 48 = 192 ). Note that other NETGEAR switches cannot be used in the stack.

Sounds like the add on is not compatible.
 
Lo Chaps.

any more, we thought it best i get on here and explain!

G thanks for your help son, much appri!

Will do buddy, im going to turn off the stacking and that will
make the two ports (51 and 52) into normal data or uplink ports.
I will leave the extra switch in port 51 and suck it and see!

Heres to having big balls!

*gulp*

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
