AP7522 POE issue

[Michael_Wright]

Please help, today i have being setting up and configuring 10 AP7522s i have got 7 all working correctly but for some reason 3 have POE issues they are constantly rebooting and do not say up. I have changed the cable, directly connected the AP tried different POE config on the switchports but nothing.

The switch is providing POE so all i get is the below:

*Oct 16 10:56:16.747: %ILPOWER-7-DETECT: Interface Fa2/0/23: Power Device detected: IEEE PD
*Oct 16 10:56:17.787: %ILPOWER-5-POWER_GRANTED: Interface Fa2/0/23: Power granted
*Oct 16 10:56:22.435: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet2/0/23, changed state to up

*Oct 16 10:58:09.030: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet2/0/23, changed state to up

it just repeats over and over

Please help thanks

show adoption history

With this command you can see why it's not adopted (if it can reach the controller).

Timo your advice fixed the problem!! (no lldp tlv-select power-management command fixed it ) out of the three APs I have all but one working, so now my issue is the last AP powers up and stays up but it doesn't get adopted i cannot see it getting a DHCP address.

Any advice?

Timo,

Time-Lenght-Value (TLV) extension carries Power via Media-Dependent-Interface (MDI). See snapshot from my lab

If the power budged is too low AP should not boot correctly as PSE allocated value won't fit classification signature at AP side.

Disabling the LLDP on each side will bring no negotiation, hence full AF power.
Which seems to be provided anyway.

Michale could capture LLDP on switch side to see what is AP asking for, but I am afraid it won't bring much more light. If other switches / ports and cables were tested the fault seems to be at AP side.

Regards,
Ondrej

Looks like a power handling problem? I think it was LLDP-MED that negotiate the power levels between switch and ap. Try to check this settings and disable it.

Is it possible that the power budget is to low, if the APs get 15.4 Watt?

[Ondrej_Lepa]

3af is more than enough to keep these APs alive.
My AP7522 lives well, serving MCX, with as high as 7.8mW
