We have 2 x  M4100-50G-POE+ (GSM7248Pv1h1)

Upgraded the FW of 1 unit to 10.0.2.35 (from 10.0.2.26) & rebooted. - all working well & POE is on (was working before upgrade) 

Upgraded the 2nd unit to 10.0.2.35 (from 10.0.2.26) & rebooted - POE is not working

 

used CLI to turn on the POE - no help
