2960 switch port fluctuations when IP cameras are connected

Fazil Haneefa

Hi friends,

 

 We have a situation.

 We have a 2960 Cisco switch on which we have 10 PTZ cameras (drawing 30 W) and 25 normal cameras connected (drawing 15.4 w).

 Now, when the cameras are tuned for higher clarity, the switch ports goes down. As per the camera datasheet , the maximum power drawn is 22W.

 Have anyone faced such an issue.?

 Can it be something related to collision due to high data flow or something?

 Appreciate any troubleshooting guidance. Thank you.

What exact model is your 2960 switch?  

Can you also post the output to the command "sh interface <BLAH>" to one of the ports which would go down?

 

Hi Leo,

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the delay.

The switch model is Cisco Catalyst 2960S-48FPD-L.

Below is the sh interface output for the interface which went down.

 I couldn't find any problem in the switch.

 please let me know if more outputs are required.

 

 

 

 

Ok, I need more outputs:  

 

  1. sh controller e Gi1/0/41; and
  2. sh power inline Gi1/0/41

 

Next, I need you to do the following:  

 

1.  Command:  test cable tdr interface Gi1/0/41; 

2.  Wait for approximately 5 to 7 seconds; 

3.  Command:  sh cable tdr interface Gi1/0/41; and

4.  Post the out put to #3.  

 

NOTE:  When you are running a TDR on a PoE port, the end-device will loose power.  This is to be expected.
