PoAP message on Nexus switch

[suthomas1]

Hi,

We are seeing this message continually coming from our new Nexus switch. Is this a problem?

how do we subdue this.

Thanks for all inputs.

Hi,

The message is caused by the Cisco PowerOn Auto Provisioning process. This is a feature that simplifies upgrading software and installing configuration files on new Cisco Nexus switches. This is not a problem assuming the switch has just been installed and has not yet been configured.

To stop the messages you simply press Y and return at the prompt "%POAP-2-POAP_INFO: Abort Power On Auto Provisioning and continue with normal setup ?(yes/no)[n]:"

My console is unresponsive after this message

"POAP DHCP discover phase failed" 

Unable to type anything. Anyother option to proceed further?

I face the same issue with Cisco Nexus9000 C93180YC-FX3, not taking y (yes) in console, so I leave switch power on after 1 hour, just y (yes) and enter, do nothing extra.
