Trying to simply set the clock automatically on this ‘smart managed’ network switch turned into a bit of a challenge. Whenever a time sync is attempted from the NTP server it would fail.
The T2600G-28TS switch simply doesn’t have a ‘default gateway’ setting but you can add a static route instead. I took a punt with the following settings. Sadly, this doesn’t work.
Solution :
To provide a default-gateway behaviour, instead you need to use the value “0.0.0.0” for both destination and subnet mask.
With this static route added, our NTP request succeeds
Cheers for this fix. These TP’s work well but don’t half have some oddities.
Thanks! This also resolved the problem with my TP-Link T1600G-28TS.
Thanks so much for this! I’m enjoying my TP-Link T1600G-52PS, but couldn’t figure out why it couldn’t reach the NTP server! Works great! Thank you, cheers and God bless you from the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.! 😀
