"Self-assigned IP" on MacOS Sequoia when trying to connect via Ethernet

I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro running MacOS Sequoia 15.7.2 via ethernet to my Orbi Satellite. I get the status "Self-assigned IP" in the Network tab in System Settings under the Ethernet Port's name. I do not get any internet access when using it. 

I've tried rebooting the Wi-Fi network, static IPs, renewing DHCP lease. The same ethernet cable connected to the same port on the Satellite works perfectly fine with an Xbox Series X. I'm not sure what else to do.

    Apologies, should have included this in the main post:

    On the MacBook, when using the 1Gbps ports on the Satellite, ethernet works, but when using the 2.5Gbps port on the satellite, Ethernet does not work. The 2.5Gbps port works with the Xbox perfectly fine as stated earlier.
