Re: M4100-26G-POE - Loaded factory defaults and now POE Status is Off

Loaded factory defaults. After load I am able to configure everything that need on the switch, except POE status. I am using the web UI and not command line. I am not familar with command line.
POE status shows "off". I can not find anywhere in the UI to turn it on. I have access to adjust POE for each interface, but no global setting for the unit.
Switch is running 10.0.1.27firmware with B1.0.1.1 boot version. POE version 1.3.0.2
Would love a little direction on how to turn POE for the switch.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help.
I did update the firmware to the latest version.
Problem found: Rookie mistake. POE is not offered on ports 25-26. I moved to port 24 and bam. The POE enabled device powered on and the system shows the POE status as running.
Thanks for the help.

Hi @some,
As I have double-checked the M4100 user manual here, there is no setting to globally turn on the PoE Status.
The current firmware of your M4100-26G-POE switch is already outdated, I suggest you update the firmware to the latest version which is v10.0.2.26. You can download it here.

Re: M4100-26G-POE - Loaded factory defaults and now POE Status is Off
I wanted to add that on an M4100 switch I recently saw PoE off when no PoE device were attached to, so this might be one aspect. Updating to the latest version is certainly a good idea. The M4100 line doesn't get much updates these days anyway.
I have an M4100 on 10.0.2.26 which runs PoE firmware 1.8.0.1. After the reboot into the new firmware PoE will remain switched off and you'll see a message about a PoE firmware update being executed. Until that process finishes, the PoE board will not power any attached device. This should take between 10-20' if I remember correctly.
Also it is quite likely that you may have to wait 10-20' after the reboot into an update firmware since the M4100 had some

Re: M4100-26G-POE - Loaded factory defaults and now POE Status is Off
Hi @msi,
I inquired your concern to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support. As per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support, it might be just a problem with the specific M4100-26G-POE switch you have and it needs a replacement.
I suggest you to open a chat or online support ticket with NETGEAR Support at anytime. Kindly state your concern as well as you can provide this forum thread as reference. Attach a .doc or .pdf copy of the Proof of Purchase or Sales Invoice of your M4100-26G-POE switch for warranty verification. If ever the hardware warranty is still valid, an online replacement will follow.
