AP8941 PDU not reachable from network remotely (works with direct connection)

Hi all,

I'm using AP8941 PDU for hosting my set of servers. I'm trying to access the static management IP remotely through a switch.
Initially, I configured static IP and am able to ping/http it when I connect it directly to my machine through ethernet.


Some snapshots:

However, when I connect it to my switch I'm not able to access/ping the device.

I already tested the switch port connected to PDU with a different device and it works as expected.


Few problems I can think of:
- Switch has all SFP/SFP+ ports. Maybe not compatible with PDU.

- Firmware is outdated for this PDU. (could not find any downloads for this version)
- I need to enable a feature in PDU to access this.


Thanks. in advance guys, I really appreciate it.
