Are power supplies included with the switch?

No, power supply units are not included with the switches and must be purchased separately to meet the specific power requirements of the deployment.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not power on

Verify that the power supply unit is correctly connected and functioning. Check the power cable and the power source. Ensure the correct voltage and wattage are supplied.

No network connectivity from ports

Check physical cable connections at both ends. Ensure the port is enabled and configured correctly in the switch's operating system. Verify VLAN configuration and IP addressing.

Slow network performance

Check for port errors, utilization levels, and potential congestion. Review QoS policies. Ensure the switch firmware is up-to-date. Examine uplink bandwidth and capacity.

Stacking issues

Confirm that stacking cables are securely connected and compatible. Ensure all switches in the stack are running the same firmware version. Verify VSF configuration on each member.

PoE devices not receiving power

Check the PoE budget of the switch and ensure it is not exceeded. Verify that the connected device is PoE-compliant and requests power. Confirm the PoE port configuration.
