What is the impact of connecting a AP-224 or AP-225 to POE (802.2af) enabled switchport? 

Jun 29, 2014 06:19 PM

Environment : This article applies to Aruba AP-224 and AP-225 Access Points.

 

For an unrestricted functionality of AP-224 and AP-225, it is mandatory to connect them to power or to a PoE+ (802.3at) enabled switch port. But when connected to a POE (802.2af) power enabled switch port, below limitations are applied:
  • Eth1 and USB ports are disabled
  • 5 GHz is limited to 2x3 instead of 3x3
  • 2.4 GHz radio is limited to 1x3 instead of 3x3 
      
    NOTE: This mode is called Power Efficient Mode and the Power LED of the Access Point glows amber instead of green.
