Re: RBKE963 2.5ghz ports
I need help.
SO I have RBK963 and UNIFI POE 24 port enterprise switch capable of 2.5gb.
I connected the router to the switch at 2.5gb connection and then from the switch to the satellite. I am getting port blocked on the switch in that configuration.
When connected from the router to Unifi switch at 1gb/ Orbi router to satellite directly at 2.5gb there is no issues and the port on the switch is no longer blocked.
Any idea on how to fixed the blocked port issue?
PS. all IP addresses are different

It would be better to create a new post for your problem/question since it is different than what this original post was asking about.

Your Orbi satellite must also be connected to the Orbi network, so if your switch is upstream from the router then don't connect the Orbi satellite to the same switch.
Are you trying to open a port outside to the public network and what port is getting blocked? What is the device whose port you're trying to make available and where is it connected in your Orbi network? Have you setup port forwarding rules for it?
No I am not trying to set up port forwarding.
Current configuration
ISP modem connected to orbi960 orbi connected from 2.5gb port to Unifi POe switch 2.5gb port, from 2.5gb port on the switch cable running to Orbi satellite connected to 2.5gb port.
Message on the Unifi switch port connection to the satellite - (port blocked)? I am trying to find out why is blocked.
When connected
ISP to orbi, orbi to satelitte directly 2.5gb port to port no issue.
I second configuration I am using the 1gb port on orbi router to connect with the switch for the other devices to be able to connect to UNIFI switch....
What is the brand and model # of this 2.5Gb switch you're using?
