IP Addressing: I have reset the router around 40 times, and have tried numerous things. For example I have logged in via webadmin, and telnet in from teraterm on Win 7 to the CLI interface. In both cases I get in fine. I can create any kind of setting except assigning an IP address. Often I kept it simple:
Create Vlan 9,10
Attempt to assign IP Address to VLAN 10 172.18.18.1 255.255.255.0 (via CLI or webadmin, same locked up result).
The routers freeze.
I unplug the router (I've tried waiting overnight and still could not get to a login - so it is not that I'm trying too soon)
After powering down the router I can login, butnaturally it is now using the startup config - lacking the IP address I attempted. I have the same result changing the default IP on vlan 1, or any other IP add, change, or adjustment attempt via either interface.
Because of this I assumed there was an issue with using these methods to set IP. So I moved on to trying to use Console Port.
Console Port: I am using a USB to serial adapter and a straight through serial cable. I have tried many things for settings, including fixing the speed on the SG300-10 (and attempts at auto-negotiation) and at:
Speed 9600
data bits 8
stop bit 1
parity none
I tried at every other speed via auto-negiation or directly from both the terminal application and the SG300-10.
When I try the console, it blinks. That's it, no text entry, a return makes no difference, no sign of life.
It has been a frustrated and humiliating experience.
