Sometimes the screen stays on for about 20 minutes and sometimes it does not come on at all. The same applies to the power on / off.

    Hi,
    There are many reasons why computers behind the switch are getting intermittent connection. It can be caused by the firmware of the switch or redundant links, especially if you are cascading switches.

    To avoid this, ensure that you are using the updated firmware for the SRW224P.

    Also ensure proper connections and status of the switch LED lights. For instructions on how to do this, click here.

    If you have performed the firmware upgrade for the switch, check bandwidth requirements of the network. If the bandwidth requirements are enough to cater to the network setup, try to configure Spanning Tree in the SRW224P to eliminate redundant links.

    The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges, or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge, or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.

    The Spanning Tree tab includes links to these screens:

    You can display a summary of the current bridge STA information that applies to the entire switch using the Information screen.
