3935i LACP with same switch possible ?

Pascal_Lurquin — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 17:11:00 GMT

We are using 3935i APs

They are connected to only one port : I saw the LOW mode in the log

We would like to use it with performance: we have to use TWO ethernet ports

Is it possible with only one POE switch X440-48P

Thanks

Hi Pascal,

I dont think we can connect both LAN ports on the same switch. Please check the below article for more information:

Hi Pascal,

If the Ethernet ports of the AP are connected to separate switches in a stack, then the switches in the stack can provide both POE and LAG functionality simultaneously to the AP.

In case the KB article is correct and also is valid for the AP3935i then just turn PoE off on one switch port and configure the LAG and that should work.

And If the customer have only one switch ...
Can we use an injector on the second port ? (strange ... but how can we have the Full power mode with one switch) ?

The switch could support 802.3at so you should be able to get full power from one port.
A think you run into the same issue as I did with another switch model - please take a look...

Actually, I tested this both with AP3825i and AP3935i few month ago.
It worked okay with AP3935i while AP3825i didn't as the above article.
AP3935i should be removed from the article I think.
I will check again and let you know later.

Pascal,

Based on my lab, it is working fine with 3935i as below information.
I will ask the article creator to change details.
And please notice that I used fallback feature of LACP to ensure connection when AP is not set to use LACP so that you can change setting of the AP after all.
