AP-225 Poe Issue

[Yann Dorval]

Hi folks,

We have a issue on a AP-225, some APs works in the "efficient mode"  like if these are powered by PoE af, our switches can delivered Poe at.

We have execute the followinf command : 

#show ap debug system-status | begin Power 

Power Status
------------
Operational State POE: One Ethernet port disabled; USB port disabled; 1x3 chain for 2.4GHz; 3x3 chain for 5GHz
----------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current HW State POE: No restrictions
LLDP Negotiated POE Power 0.0W

What is the difference between Operational State Poe and Current HW State Poe ?

have you an idea what we have O watt LLDP Negotiated for the Poe Power ?

Thanks folks !

Do you have LLDP turned on the switch port? The AP uses this to negotiate power.

Hi tsd25108,

Thanks you for your answer, we have activate thhe LLDP on the port of the switch, now the output of the cmd line :

Power Status
------------
Operational State POE: No restrictions
----------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current HW State POE: No restrictions
LLDP Negotiated POE Power 0.2W

I think it's Ok, but do you know if it's normal to get 0,2W on LLDP negotiated POE ?

Ours show 25W.  Check on the switch and see if it agrees.  Could just be a cosmetic problem in displaying the value in the debug output.  Actually the debug output is formatted differently than what you pasted, so I assume you are on a different ArubaOS rev.
