    Hello,

    I'm very happy to find a topic referring exactly the issue i faced.
    I also received a replacement switch put problem was still the same (last firmware from the website, etc ...).

    After hours of troubleshooting, i found out that it's related to the cascaded switch behind this one.

    This GS728TP was connected on a GS724TP, and both are POE switches, i disabled the POE feature on both switches on the ports used to cascade them and no issues anymore.

    I don't know if you had same setup but in my case it's now solved ! :)

    Regards.
