While I can't specifically say if it is supposed to be "NORMAL", I can say definatively that I have NEVEr had to do such a thing... My fibre networks have always recoverd from power fialure without incident. (Although I also must mention that I always put such equiment on UPS so the only faulure which takes out equipment is in excess of about 1/2 an hour. And I always set my UPS's to require human intervention to restart. Thus protecting equipment from the potentially unstable "Startup" fase involved in power outages.

I have one connection that does this. "Someone" placed a multi-mode fiber connector on a switch. These types of connections need to be reset to operate after a power swap over.

It's not something that I've seen either but again I also use UPS's on every Optical Switch/Hub.

Does removing the power fix the problem like a conventional Switch/Hub?

If this persists you might need to look at different equipment but I have never seen this happen in the time that I've used Optical Networking gear.
