Summary: ICX8200-48P not providing enough PoE power despite the correct configuration
Question: ICX8200-48P not providing enough PoE power despite the correct configuration
Keywords: 802.3af PoE, 802.3at PoE, Override PoE Operating Mode, not enough electricity, power limitations, PoE mode.
Customer Environment: Many R550
Root Cause: The AP is not getting enough power from the switch.
Symptoms: Not enough power from the ICX switch "Not enough power is provided to this AP, its capabilities are degraded" and it is using 802.3af power mode.
Troubleshooting Steps: Set up the switch to provide more power to the port where the AP is connected to, by doing this config “inline power power-by-class 4”
Workaround: If power supply deficiency is caused by incorrect power level negotiation between the AP and the switch/PoE injector, you can enforce the AP Power Level on the AP's configuration page. Go to Access Points > [AP] > Edit > Other > PoE Ope.rating Mode. Enable Override Group Config and select 802.3at
Resolution: Set up the switch to provide more power to the port where the AP is connected to, by doing this config “inline power power-by-class 4”
The customer is getting this error message on the unleashed GUI for a R550 running 200.14.6.1.179
"Not enough power is provided to this AP, its capabilities are degraded"
Just by plugging the AP to the 1/1/2 the AP would be setting on 802.3af
With this configuration on the ICX switch it works properly
