Wireless Access

HI,

We are deploying a AP225 as a RAP, wireless all looks fine but when we connect a further connection to the second ethernet port we are not able to see any led active on it. We want to send these off to different places and want to be able to do a command to see if the AP doesnt have sufficient PoE to power it so we can advise accordingly. We have been successful with one or two switches, I am guess that the switch needs PoE+? Not sure of the officilal requirement for the second port. Any ideas on both? Thanks!

You need POE+ on a single port for the second ethernet port to work.

Thanks for configrming its PoE+ cjoseph but is there a copmmand to see what power (poE) its receiving?

show ap debug system-status ap-name <name of ap> | begin "Power Status"

The output should look like this:

Power Status
------------
Operational State          POE-AT: No restrictions
-----------------          -----------------------
Current HW State           POE-AT: No restrictions

Thanks, I am getting this on a CAP AP225:- Can you explain how we know this is getting enough power for second port. Not sure what refers to whether it has PoE+ as opposed to PoE?

Power Status
------------
Operational State          POE-AT: No restrictions
-----------------          -----------------------
Current HW State           POE-AT: No restrictions
LLDP Negotiated POE Power  13.0W

Bandwidth Contracts Information

Received BWM Config:

        ACL                                                            DIR  Contract-ID PerUser UseCount Rate

Allocated Contracts:
--------------------
Contract-ID Rate       UseCount Available-Bytes Max-Bytes Policed-Bytes

Operational State          POE-AT: No restrictions
-----------------          -----------------------
Current HW State           POE-AT: No restrictions

This is all you need.

To be clear, "Operational State" is the end-result

Thanks again cjoseph. Got it.
