wrong mac address and firmware on device
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Very wierd situation.
yesterday i purchased a TL-SG105E 5 port easy switch.
Whenever i install a managed (of sorts) switch on a network i assign it a static IP address (192.168.1.50 in this circumstance), and make a note of the last 6 digits of the mac address on the unit (54:61:77 in this case) and stick a sticker on the unit.
Strangely, the MAC address was not showing on the DHCP of the router anywhere.
When i logged into the admon portal on the switch i see this:
the unit is correctly ID'd as SW1-BASEMENT, has the correct IP address, but the MAC address is wrong.
On top of that, its showing as a TL-SG108E
??????
and on top of that this 5 port switch is showing that something is plugged into port 7
any idea what could be going on here?
UKD.
