Cisco 3560E - enhanced PoE - Power-Ethernet Trap - Threshold?

Manuel Muetsch — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 05:04:52 GMT

Hi,

i have a AIR-LAP1252AG-E-K9 connected to a Catalyst 3560E 24 PD switch.

Version:

Cisco IOS Software, C3560E Software (C3560E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(52)SE, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

The AP needs 20W for 802.11n, so I raised the default maximum power for this port from 15.4W to 20W.

Command:

"power inline port maximum 20000"

Switch#show power inline police gigabitEthernet 0/24

Interface Admin Oper Admin Oper Cutoff Oper

State State Police Police Power Power

--------- ------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ------ -----

Gi0/24 auto on none n/a n/a 12.2

Switch#show power inline gigabitEthernet 0/24

Interface Admin Oper Power Device Class Max

(Watts)

--------- ------ ---------- ------- ------------------- ----- ----

Gi0/24 auto on 20.0 AIR-LAP1252AG-E-K9 3 20.0

Interface AdminPowerMax AdminConsumption

(Watts) (Watts)

---------- --------------- --------------------

Gi0/24 20.0 20.0

Switch#show run | i snmp-server enable traps power-ethernet

snmp-server enable traps power-ethernet group 1

snmp-server enable traps power-ethernet police

Everything is working fine, but my management system received a trap:

POWER USAGE ABOVE THRESHOLD

A "pethMainPowerUsageOnNotification" event has occurred, from SwCiscoIOS device, named Switch.

This notification indicates that the PSE Threshold Usage Indication is on (the usage power is above the threshold). At least 500 msec must elapse between notifications being emitted by the same object instance.

pethMainPseConsumptionPower = 20000

pethMainPseConsumptionPower.pethMainPseGroupIndex = 1

What threshold is defined for the port?

Which command can display the threshold value?

Is it possible to change the value? And if so, how?

If you need any more information don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance!

Manuel

In another combination I have the same problem:

Switch: WS-C3560E-48PD

Software: Cisco IOS Software, C3560E Software (C3560E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(52)SE, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

I will try another IOS version.

I will try another IOS version.

You have an 3560E. Try to avoid using the 12.2(52)SE and 12.2(53)SE. Instead, try 12.2(55)SE5 or 12.2(58)SE2. If you are frisky, then try 15.0(1)SE2.

I build a Test Lab and tried at first the 12.2(55)SE, but the switch sent one again the trap.

(The 12.2(55)SE5 was not available for me)

But in both 12.2(58)SE1 and 15.0(1)SE2 the switch worked correct - no more Trap.

Thanks.
