Hello,

I have 16 miners working right now on SMOS. They are mining using claymore, mix of xmr and eth. I have 8 miners connected to an unmanaged TPLink TL-SG1016 switch. I have the other 8 miners connected similarly to a separate switch. These two unmanaged switches are connected to my router (TP LINK N750) which has DHCP enabled. Router is connected to the internet.

I'm having an issue that when one of my SMOS miners freezes, it takes down the entire unmanaged switch it is connected to. i.e. all the other miners on that switch go offline. The minute I reset the frozen miner manually (holding the power switch for 5s) all the other miners go back online and resume mining. I'm not sure if the frozen miner is flooding the switch with packets or something, I was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue.

I was also wondering if anyone has a better suggestion for a network layout to manage my miners. Is there a better option I should look into than using the TP-Link unmanaged switches and router?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
