PoE switch not connected to the internet
When a problem occurs with PoE, in most cases, the error symptom can be simply shown as the PoE switch not providing power, and the powered devices will stop working. The cause of failure may be attributed to many factors, including hardware device factors and software factors. However, When I checked interface status using 'show int status', It looks 'notconnect' status. Looking into it further i found that while the port gave POE to any POE device it did not give any network connection to anything ever, ive done some research and couldn't find any reason for such a problem so what could have caused this to happen? as id like to prevent it happening again.
