Hi,

Fritzbox modem/router on 192.168.2.1

Replacing an unmanaged 24 port TP-Link.

Wanting to set the  Intel X520-DA1-82599EN Chip on static 192.168.2.4. (255.255.255.0)

If I do, my PC that has always been on static 192.168.2.2 gets a strange IP & subnet assignment?

Clicking details gives a completely different IP in a different range all together (don't have a note to hand) & subnet 255.255.0.0

Looking at PC network properties, definately 192.168.2.2 with 255.255.255.0. so how it can get a different set I have no idea, never seen before.

I have a solution but prefer to fix the TL-SG3428X, especially if I move away & want access from a direct connected PC without a DHCP server to test etc.

My fix at the moment is to make the TL-SG3428X get via DHCP & router assigned it the Set IP. not a bad solution.

2 possible reasons as far as I can tell.

1) I think most likely because the TL-SG3428X does not have a gateway set. Don't know why not a obvious setting under IP, Subnet.

I read to add + secondary, but if I try to put 192.168.2.1 it says already exists. Don't know what else try.

2) I am using a new network card so I have SFP+. 10GTek based on Intel X520-DA1-82599EN Chip, DL lastest firmware from Intel.

Perhaps it is something to do with this but the settings all seem pretty standard.

The fact the PC is fine on static when the TL-SG3428X is DHCP make me think to do do with the Switch.

Be nice to know if I am missing something, any advise?

Also bit annoyed to see a V.2 has been out for several months & I got a V1 from broadband buyer a few days ago.

Don't need anything really fancy or extra capacity but did not think they released version without a fairly good reason.

Small query, can't get it to use ntp time. Tried a variety of IP's, always says can't get from NTP server.

Thanks I/A

PS

Also, perhaps standard but seems daft that you need a rs232 cable to factory reset. surely a easier built in way. I have had to order, hope won't need but lost www access & wanted to start from scratch.
