TL-SG108E not managable
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Just buyed the TL-SG108E and installed the 'management' utility. Switch was perfectly found.
I saw on the support pages there was a newer firmware (20181130) and I want to install it.
I have started the upgrade with that downloaded file and about half way 'Some error occured' was the message.
After that error the 'Unmanaged Pro configuration utility ' was not be able to find the switch anymore.
I want to reset the switch, but how should I do that? (I have seen the reset hole, but 'pinning this' gives no result
Thanks for thinking with me
I have in the end been able to achieve a good result on a BRICKED SG108E v1.
Before you start, step 2 is probably better on a Linux machine to achive NMAP scan over the sw 192.168.0.1
- Configure network interface with an IP on the same subnet
IP = 192.168.0.10
NETMASK = 255.255.255.0
GW = 192.168.0.1
( after that, try to ping to switch ip 192.168.0.1 if you reach the host, continue to next step )
2. From linux machine, execute this command (install it if you don't have: sudo apt install nmap)
3. Once you are done, execute: sudo nmap -Pn -sS -sV 192.168.0.1
4. With the results on screen you can see something like this:

5. As you can see, there is some pages on the switch HTTP server. If you try to connect on http://192.168.0.1 you will not see anything BUT
6. You can enter on one of those pages like that
http://192.168.0.1/menu.cgi
7. Now you are able to upload the firmware by two methods, TFTP or HTTP (easy way = http)
8. When you select HTTP Firmware Upgrade, select "browse file" and choose the correct firmware.
9. You are DONE, wait a few minutes and you can loging through Easy Smart Configuration Utility again.
NOTE: Is mandatory that SW will be on "Loader Mode" you can check for example trying to access to http://192.168.0.1/login.html and see that
Hope this help to everybody to bring back to live a TP-LINK SG108E (in my case V1)
