Hi 

We have been using a SG1008MP for our office needs (all ethernet for office functions including laptops, printers and VOIP).. Speed over wireless is not quick enough for some of our database applications, hence ethernet option.

With increased staffing we have found we are running out of ports. It was suggested that we purchase another switch (SG1008P), and extend that way, connecting one port from SG1008MP to one port in SG1008P with CAT6 cable.

Intent is to use it for peripherals, though when connected and powered up, we cannot get any read through to printers.

Configs are

DHCP - Switch - patch panel - LAN ports in office. This works fine

DHCP - Switch - (new Switch) - patch panel - LAN ports in office. No joy with anything coming through new unit.

Are we missing something?. If we have done something wrong, a schema would be awesome!

Cheers
