MS305 takes 20-seconds to boot?
[This form is weird, does not recognize MS305 as an "associated product"]
My new MS305 switch takes about 25 seconds to boot when plugged in... the power light blinks for that long before going solid green. After that it seems to work.
Is this normal behavior?

While launched mid November 2022, the mass volume market availability had not started a long time ago. These newer MultiGig switches are not yet introduced to the community system apparently.

While this reads long, especially when coming from the unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet devices: Does this cause any problems?

Probably yes. I must admit not having hands-on experience on the unmanaged MS305 and MS108 but used to the similar MS108EUP, where the cold boot of the attached PoE++ AP. The uninterrupted Uninterrupted PoE feature does allow to keep PoE devices powered on even when soft rebooting the switch.
