I recently purchased a RB960PGS for use in our summerhouse, since I work in the networking industri I happen to have access to some hardware that was collecting dust on a shelf and happen to have a couple of Cisco AIR-CAP2602I-E-K9 laying around. Great! This will be an easy job I thought.
When configuring all this I connected my RB960PGS to my CRS328-24P-4S+ switch and untagged my internet VLAN on that port so that I could get the VPN and all that stuff up and running and primed for installation later on. Now as far as that goes it was all fine and well, I connected my access points and the got power, the found my vWLC etc. No problems.
The issue I have is that when the RB960PGS is powered using the power-brick the poe ports used light up red as to indicate that they are indeed delivering power but the AP never powers up and the link itself stays down. But if I plug my RB960PGS into the CRS328-24P-4S+ then everything works just fine. Here follows some output.
RB960PGS running RouterOS v7.3.1 (stable)
Status: everything works fine, RB960PGS connected to CRS328-24P-4S+ and gets power through that.
