We have 2 x M4100-50G-POE+ (GSM7248Pv1h1)
Upgraded the FW of 1 unit to 10.0.2.35 (from 10.0.2.26) & rebooted. - all working well & POE is on (was working before upgrade)
Upgraded the 2nd unit to 10.0.2.35 (from 10.0.2.26) & rebooted - POE is not working
used CLI to turn on the POE - no help

any suggestions on how to turn on POE?
Since it is a main production switch, It causes a major disturbance to reboot the switch.

Reads like update failure of the PoE controller lurking in the community since 2017. Have zero own experience on the M4100 Series. Some users had success uploading the complete firmware again by TFTP after selecting the right eth from the serial console by entering CFE.
