Hey Guys,
I have been very happy with my iMac Pro (10 Core, 64gb ram, 1tb) for about a full week now. Today I decided to network it with a switch in my home to get better hardline speeds.
I have a Tp-Link SG105 5 port switch that is about as simple of a device you can get.
connected to it is a PS4 pro, as well as an Apple tv (4k)...and the iMac Pro! Both the PS4 and the Apple Tv work as intended...Getting great download and upload speed.
The iMac pro however refuses to communicate. I made 4 different Cat6 cables and they all test clean. The only thing I get from the switch is a flashing green light at about a 1.5 second interval. The iMac doesn't recognize the ethernet port when plug into the switch (ethernet not connected, in the network panel). It does connect when I run the main line directly to the port.
Are there specific protocols that a switch needs to support for the iMac Pro??
thought it was strange as the other two devices connected function properly
What am I missing here?
