Configurar TRENDnet switch
Configurar TRENDnet switch
Back in this chaotic networking scene, I’m really lost. I bought a trendnet TEG-30284 to use the sfp+ 10G ports affordably. It’s connected to my computer, server, and router right now. All devices are on the same network and I can ping each other. I can access the router’s panel but still can’t get online. Should I inform the switch about which port is WAN?
The default settings usually allow untagged traffic on VLAN 1 to reach everything, which should work with your router for access. It seems the LAN interface is on the same network as your connected devices. Did you assign a different subnet than what your router uses? You should be able to get a DHCP lease in that case without changing other parts like switching the WAN side to an ISP port or moving the LAN side to a switch, provided you didn’t fully replace the router with just a switch.
I made a mistake with the subnet and router compatibility. It functioned initially but didn’t give internet access. I had to change the switch’s settings to DHCP, which caused freezing issues. Static configuration on the server also led to it being ignored. Now, manually setting a static IP on my computer breaks the connection, and I can’t locate its IP because it relies on DHCP. It seems the switch is rejecting static assignments. What could be causing this behavior?
I’ll adjust the DHCP scope to reserve space like 192.168.1.100–199, then assign static addresses in that area—such as .5 for a switch or .9 for a server. Here are the key settings:
- Subnet: 192.168.1.0/24
- Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: [insert router IP]
- DHCP scope: 192.168.1.100–199
This will handle lower-layer connections while the router manages routing to other networks.
Not entirely certain about the steps, but my setup matches what you described. Router IP is now DHCP and not listed, originally it was 192.168.10.200. The PC has been assigned DHCP since it can't reach 192.168.1.10 anymore (previously that was the default) and the server was managing DHCP but I switched to 192.168.1.9, which now doesn't connect.
mainly updating myself, but are all gadgets connected to the same network?
They are indeed correct. I adjusted the IPv4 settings on the router for all my DHCP devices, and everything is functioning properly now. It’s okay that my FREENA server isn’t generating an IP when set up as DHCP. I also tried a different NIC, but that didn’t resolve the issue. Perhaps a full reset would be necessary.
