RB3011 POE-In Not Working

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this issue. I’m trying to get my RB3011 to power up via the POE-In ether1 port from an HP 1920S switch. I am having difficulty finding any info on this so hopefully someone has managed to get this to work somewhere along the line.

Is there something special I need to do? I have tried limiting the wattage to the port from 10 to 30 and still it refuses to fire up. Are there any special settings in RouterOS that I need to enable to get this to work?

Many thanks

Duke

The 3011 only takes passive PoE between 10 and 30V, but your switch is an 802.3af PoE switch, so won’t power it.

You can use a PoE converter to do this, https://mikrotik.com/product/rbgpoe_con_hp

Hope that helps
