AIR-AP3802I-B-K9 Power Requirements

Patrick McHenry

Level 3

Hi,

just connected a AIR-AP3802I-B-K9 AP to the network. The AP seems to be stuck in a boot cycle. In this doc you can see that the AP requires uPOE. Is this my issue?

Thank you

I will be able to ping the AP for a short period...then, it goes down again. Also, I dont see it registering on the Controller either (5508 running version 8.2.100.0)

8.2.100.0 is not support 3800 series AP. Minimum code is 8.2.110.0 (refer table 2 of this doc)

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/compatibility/matrix/compatibility-matrix.html#56735

Upgrade your controller to 8.2MR1 (8.2.111.0). Here is the release note of that code

hi,

i don't think is a poe problem, this behavior is typical when it fails to join the controller

if it's possible check the output on console port of the ap

i see on the release that there is a bug for dns discovery:

If you are using Cisco 1800, 2800, or 3800 Series APs, and want to enable the DNS Discovery for CAPWAP Join feature, we recommend that you upgrade to Release 8.2.111.0. If you do not want to enable this feature, you do not have to upgrade, and can continue to use Release 8.2.110.0.

Regards.

Thanks Rasik - I didnt even think about an upgrade as our current code is so recent.

Understand this particular issue was code related but we do have a power issue which is why I'm responding on this thread.

We're looking at inline POE (802.3at) injector rather than individual 'injector blocks' for each AP.  I've seen some posts stating that for at least the 3700's, there's issues where the AP does not recognize the available 802.3at wattage and goes in to this low-power mode.  Has anyone used a third-party power-injector for the 3800's rather than the Cisco branded injector-blocks?
