7982's and HP 5406zl

[brandon_mancheg]

Anyone encounter any issues when uplinking a Ruckus 7982 to a PoE enabled 5406zl Copper module. There is plenty of power availabe but all I get in the logs is the following:

I have had good success with HP Procurve devices that are rated PoE+

For example the HP 3800 and 2920 and the ZF7982.

No issues with our HP 5406zl or 2920 switches..

Seeing the same thing on an HP 2530-24G PoE+ switch. In addition we get the PoE light blinking orange, which is supposed to indicate a warning condition (but not a fault condition.) Switch thinks it's delivering power even though the light is on, but AP is not powering up.

Never mind, firmware upgrade on the 2530 resolved the issue, despite no mention of PoE in the release notes. If anyone is having this issue, probably worth making sure you're up to date.

EDIT: Now on firmware YA.15.12.010

I had a similar issue with an HP switch (2910-24G-PoE+ al) and 7982's. I would get the orange blinking PoE light on an HP switch, tested with W_15_08_0012 and W_15_12_0011. With the firmware downgraded to W_14_38, the AP's powered up, but I didn't want to revert the firmware. Also, tested on a CIsco PoE switch, the AP's would not power.

I RMA'ed one of the 7982's and it worked on both the Cisco and updated HP. The rest of the AP's (being used with Ruckus PoE injectors) are currently being RMA'ed. The existing "broken" AP's had serial numbers starting with 3213 and 3313, while the new AP started with a 36. This lends credence to another forum posting about a change in hardware for the later revisions of the 7982's. If you are having a similar issue, please try RMA'ing at least one AP to test, even though you may not think it will fix the issue.
