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 protec...
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?
Thanks for the suggestion. Any wall outlets had the same effect on the switch
I did some troubleshooting recently and the source really seems to be the DAC cable. The switch doesn't like this one in conjuncture with my hardware
Ended up using two SFP+ to RJ-45 adapters with a Cat6+ switch cable to make it work as intended
Is there anyone here that successfully connected a Netgear and MikroTik switched together via DAC cable without AC problems? What's the model of DAC you're using?
