Did this happen multiple times? (It seems it may of due to the listed 'one of these happened'). If the Powerline adaptors are level 3 devices (i.e they have an IP) are you accidentally setting them up as a gateway or dhcp server when you haven't meant to?– djsmiley2kStaysInsideCommented Feb 12, 2018 at 12:07

Interesting question. This happened three times, which forced me to reconfigure as per the final diagram. The adapters do not appear to have any interface for configuration. They have no IP address (at least according to the router); instead I see the IP of the device in the second room that connects via them - almost as if they are transparent on the network map.– EvilDrCommented Feb 12, 2018 at 12:11

Well that mean they are just layer two, the only other thing I can come up with is a bug in either the switch, or the Powerline adaptors that caused the mac-address table of the switch to believe that all connected interfaces were on whichever port the powerline adapters were connected to. This is partal;ly while you wouldn't normally use something like powerline in a business environment.– djsmiley2kStaysInsideCommented Feb 12, 2018 at 12:14

as a powerline user - they're mostly transparent to your system. And that's mostly the topology I use, so... that's strange. almost feels like you created a routing loop somehow, but that shouldn't happen.– Journeyman Geek ♦Commented Feb 12, 2018 at 12:23

You mentioned your switch is managed. Are you able to pull any logs from it?– BurgiCommented Feb 12, 2018 at 12:34

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
