XS505M post power outage
Hi,
I've been using a NETGEAR 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit (XS505M) unmanaged 10GB switch for a couple of years. Recently, we experienced several power outages, although the switch was initially protected by a battery UPS.
Since the outages, I've noticed that when the power is restored, the switch lights up, but I need to unplug the SFP+ DAC and then unplug the power from the switch for it to function properly again. The DAC in use is a 10Gtek CAB-10GSFP-P0.5m.
The other switch in the setup is a MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S-IN. Based on my online research, there shouldn't be any compatibility issues between the devices.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,

I haven't seen this with my 505M. I believe I have a cable matters sfp to ethernet 10gb adapter in mine. However mines all connected to a GS110MX down stream from it from the SFP port. The switch is connected up stream to a Orbi system on one of the other ethernet ports.
How long are the power outages for? If on a UPS, then the switch should be good if the power outage doesn't drain the batteries.
- Thanks for the reply
I can confirm the UPS reaches low battery and power off sometimes. That’s what generating this problem
Last time was due to a test of the UPS shutdown scripts of my devices compatible.
Then the switch got stuck in this weird non functioning state as power backIf you connect the switch to a normal wall outlet, and just disconnect the plug from the out let for say 10 seconds then back ON, does the switch return to ready?
