Flash was bad. Power cycled the switch that night after hours, it never came back up. I had to push the firmware via xmodem but I was getting some driver errors and the switch would not boot to an operational status. Replacement switch arrived and all those issues went away :)
Hello,  I have a powerconnect 6248P. It has several VLANS, but recently, we have been having issues with our phones. Regardless if the VLAN is native or a trunk and its traffic tagged. Some phones are unable to get an IP address. The following error message appears in the buffer log;DHCP client message received on port 1/0/17 VLAN 40 from client 00:04:f2:31:aa:e4 has giaddr set to local address 192.168.4.1. Dropping.  The switch is the router as well for several of the VLANS. It seems only the phones are having issues.  Please advise.
