POE error messages

Hi! Our Extreme 410 and 510 APs are connected to old cisco switches. When we set inline power on a port to auto the APs draw either 31.6 watts "from PS" and 30.0 "to Device". We've manually set ports to this as well.

In CoPilot anomalies we see this message for every AP.

This AP xxxxx needs at least AT (30w) power to operate at its maximum capacity but has been negotiated down to AF (15w) power.

Is this a problem? Our switches aren't capable of providing any more power. This is the only thing we've ever seen from CoPilot, does anyone ever get anything useful out of it?

They moved the LLDP/CDP setting.  It's even easier to get to now. It's on the first page of the Network Policy.  So, it would be go to Configure>>Network Policy>>Click on the Network Policy name>>Click on LLDP/CDP.

Thanks for this, we have lldp enabled.

Which model switches? Do you have LLDP enabled on the ports for PoE negotiation?

[Macknkss]

Our switches are cisco catylist 4510's.
