Again a 8 port switch ( managed)

[rookin99]

Found a good deal again. 8 oert switch with 1 10Gb. With mine ot akso works on 2.5.

Ik heb dit zojuist gevonden op AliExpress:
2.5GbE beheerde switch 8-poorts 2.5GBASE-T netwerkswitcher 10G SFP+ slot Uplink Web Managed Hub Internet Splitter Fanless

the missing 10GbE port in that variant is... meh

I can vouch for keeplink.

Been using 2 since september last year. They work. I have not used the management part of it though

Only issue is I assigned them hostnames via dnsmasq but i cannot login unless i use the ip.

It is a bit more expensive though.

IMHO these are basically Paperweights since there is no OpenWRT Support available for them right now and neither there will be in the Future .

That makes zero Sense .

Do you mean you assigned hostnames via dnsmasq on your upstream router (e.g. OpenWRT) ?

Are you sure you are maybe not having a Web Browser such as Librewolf / Brave (possibly others) that is trying to force to use DoH (DNS over HTTPS) / DoT (DNS over TLS) using some custom DNS Servers, instead of your System DNS Servers ?

Are you sure you don't have some DNSSEC Issues ? On Ubuntu sometimes I was having Issues with DNSSEC for some Internet Domains, so I could see it in the Logs with journalctl -xeu systemd-resolved or just resolvectl query hostname.MYDOMAIN.TLD.

Are you sure you have configured DHCP Static Mapping correctly ?

Check that the hostname is NOT resolving using IPv6 to another Device, which probably doesn't exist / doesn't Reply.

Try curl -L -vvv http://hostname.MYDOMAIN.TLD, ping -4n hostname.MYDOMAIN.TLD as well as traceroute hostname.MYDOMAIN.TLD

By definition DNS resolves a hostname to an IP Address, so they should be one and the same.

Recently (last 4 Years ???) though, Web Browsers sometimes force the use of their own DNS Servers, thus some unexpected behaviours could arise.

They work fine. Definitely not paperweights. Not open enough but maybe one day they can get OpenWRT support.

My router is opnsense. One switch is 192.168.1.3 (switch1.h.f.o, koboh.h.f.o).

If I access the switch via koboh.h.f.o or switch1.h.f.o i get login screen but submitting the form redirects me to the same login screen. Accessing the switch via ip will let me login.

Yeah it makes ZERO sense but that is what happens :-D

Paperweight = lack of long-term Prospectives related to open source Firmware .

Clear Browser Cache and try in a Private Window.

Check Network Console and see what is going on there, you might have some weird HTTP Requests going on.

I agree that sometimes weird Stuff happens, but there is an Explanation most of the Time .

By that definition, my car is a paperweight also.

I mean, these are switches, not routers. How many managed switches does OpenWRT support anyway?

Although yes, there is a chance of something bad happening with the management software, and the odds of firmware fixes are slim.

Host headers... This is what shitty firmware development looks like. They are (most likely) binding the web UI to the IP address (which is fine), except...their code then (most likely) tries to check for that IP address in the host headers on any form submittals...

Or done on purpose to serve another purpose...

Hell, I'm a paperweight.

Heres a github thread with better firmware

wow the idea of turning a cheap unmanaged switch into a manage switch is mind bottling.

 

[rookin99]

Yup, and they are quite giid actually. Mine just crapped out after 3 years. But its not at fault lightning struck in our power grid. The whole street had busted electronics. It claimed my el cheapo switch to along with my budget ai rig
