SG2008P DHCP woes
2022-12-20 17:53:30
Model: SG2008P  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 3.0.2 Build 20220909 Rel.75248

My SG2008P DHCP server sometimes hands out the wrong IP address.  All of the IPs on my network are assigned reserved addresses by MAC address.  Sometimes, the DHCP server ignores this and assigns an IP address from the free pool instead of the reserved address.

 

I have seen this problem with both firmware 3.0 and 3.0.2.  These are the only firmware available for download on the TP-Link site.  Someone one Reddit suggested downloading to an earlier firmware may fix this.  Anybody have an earlier firmware file available?

 

Anybody else seeing this problem?

3.0.0 is already the earliest firmware for this switch. 

 

For the DHCP issue, please try to change Ping Packets to 0 in web interface:

I set the ping packets to zero, as suggested.

 

I will be testing this overnight.

  @hspindel I have been running for over 24 hours now without seeing a DHCP issue.  For anyone else reading this, setting "ping packets" to zero appears to be the fix.
