Why selective legacy PD detection ?

Question

Can someone please tell me why Ruckus states (see http://docs.ruckuswireless.com/fastiron/08.0.80/fastiron-08080-managementguide/GUID-8CF5299E-3CBC-42FB-AB14-646929DF6007.html) Legacy PD detection should not be enabled on ports where power-consuming devices are not connected.Shall we experience problems if we break that rule on our ICX-7150's ?

Many thanks in advance !

Lou

Hello Jijo,In your timely reply, does 'system' refer to the switch and/or the device bixed to the port ?Thanks again,Louis-Simon

Hi Louis,Poe chip detection mechanism to differentiate a PSE from PD can fail in certain cases and may damage the system. Hence the recommendation.ThanksJijo
