R710: "PoE+" injector still gets recognized as 802.3af power

[john_d]

For fun, I tried buying a PoE+ injector to unlock full transmit power on 2.4GHz on my R710. I found that even with an injector that's advertised to be PoE+, the power mode still says 802.3af, not 802.3at.

Looking at the support article KB-5005, it looks like it's implying that PoE+ negotiation requires a PoE+ switch that speaks LLDP. Is this true? Is there any way to get the AP into PoE+ mode via an injector?

Is the AT power mode setting on the R710 CLI persistent after reboot on a stand alone AP?

Thank you for this!

I'm curious, has anyone tested what would happen if all your APs were set to PoE+/at mode while some are connected to a .3af switch?  I'm guessing they would just be asking for more power and be stuck in .3af Consumption status - which makes me wonder why use Auto anyway.
