Hi all:
I expect this is slightly off list but I am perplexed by a problem with our network which seems beyond the understanding of the suppliers. We have a brand new set of swiches with a gigabit backbone as a result of a leak following some dodgy building of the new server room. The switches are all D-Link. There are 8 24 port switches which are stacked in blocks of 4 and a master with the gig modules. Once we got the network running they kept falling over and resetting themselves to the factory default setting for the IP. The supplier and D-Link "solved" it by replacing all of them and they have worked for a few days but they have reset again. My question is, what would cause a switch to reset? It wouldn't reset if it was bombarded with packages? Would it be a bad NIC card somewhere in the system sending higher than normal voltage packages? All I can think of is that the power leads are causing problems. The suppliers have run the
Hi Paul,
This does sound strange!
I know that d-link are cheap but... (I'd recommend Lantech MaxSwitches -
easy after the event.)
Are the units doing a full reset. i.e they go through a POST or are they
resetting the tables only?
Do all of the units reset at the same time?
I assume that you are happy with the mains supply. Have you tried fitting a
UPS to filler out staffroom kettles etc. :-)
Another big problem in school is the need to have everything up at the same
time, but have you tried connecting one segment at a time.
Sorry, but all obvious stuff really :-(

cables through all of the data runs. Would this cause enough extra inteference to cause a switch to reset itself?
