PoE out status: short circuit for non-PoE devices?

Hi all,

On my CRS328-24P-4S+, what should be the poe out status on ports connected to non-poe devices? Recently when I was plugging in an ethernet cable, static charge caused a spark between me and the ethernet port. The activity lights all lit up on the switch. I immediately shutdown the power, and rebooted the switch.

After that I see the poe out status on all the ports that are connected to non-poe devices are “short-circuit”. All the ports connected to PoE devices are working fine though. Is this normal?

I have the same problem with RB269GSP, whats the solution?

I see same thing on my switch although it goes away if you turn PoE for the ports off. Believe it’s totally normally. My guess is that it shows up that way because the switch looks for some sort of signaling and, when it doesn’t see it, the switch believes there to be a short. Would explain why turning off PoE for the port makes that go away.
