Алдааг олж засварлах

Хүч чадалгүй

• Цахилгаан адаптер нь унтраалга болон ажиллаж байгаа цахилгааны залгуурт найдвартай холбогдсон эсэхийг шалгаарай.
• Verify the power outlet is active by testing with another device.
• Цахилгаан адаптерт харагдахуйц гэмтэл байгаа эсэхийг шалгана уу.

No Link on Ethernet Port

• Verify the Ethernet cable is properly connected at both ends.
• Өөр Ethernet кабель ашиглаж үзнэ үү.
• Холбогдсон төхөөрөмж асаалттай, зөв ​​ажиллаж байгаа эсэхийг шалгаарай.
• Check the port status in the switch's management interface (SwOS/RouterOS).

SFP+ Port Issues

• Ensure the SFP/SFP+ module is fully inserted and compatible with the switch.
• Verify the fiber optic cable is correctly connected and not damaged.
• Check the link status LEDs on the SFP+ port.
• Confirm the module and cable are compatible with the device on the other end of the connection.

Удирдлагын интерфэйсэд хандах боломжгүй байна

• Ensure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's default IP (e.g., 192.168.88.x).
• Try accessing via the console port.
• Reset the device to factory defaults (refer to MikroTik documentation for the specific procedure, usually involving a reset button). Жич: This will erase all configurations.
