Aruba Access point-305 orange light problem

[ilker.korkmazer]

Hi,

We are facing a problem about Aruba AP-305 on Cisco switches for 2 weeks , is not resolved yet. Let me know you clarifications about details,
1. When use the Cisco ws-2960x-48fps-l ,AP was working as low performance although it is giving error message by orange light. Low performance means download and upload speeds are decreasing so a few members can connect by AP, not alot.
2. Then we are trying same scenarios for Cisco 2960s-48fps –l but faced that same scenario.
3. After aboves we decided that PowerDsine 3501G injector should be used, but it seems that the bad scenario resumed.
4. Finally we have changed injector and used Microsemi 9001GR instead of PowerDsine 3501G which has got high mA, AP has worked fine which it means high performance and came accross Green light on it.



As an altenative tests, it is working fine on AVAYA and Huawei Switches without any injectors.
we do not to want to use injectors, please help me how can i fix it? maybe it can resolve increase miliamper on related port, how can i increase it?

i also increased power inline static 30W but didn't fix it.

Seems that your Aruba AP-305 does not receives enough power. Since by using Microsemi 9001GR, which provides 30W you have observed that the AP working properly, you need to check what is the current status of the power given to the Aruba, without the power injector in between.

Execute "#show power inline" and find how much power is given when it is "orange"

Second thing you may configure is LLDP on the switch. I'm not sure if the Aruba supports CDP, but for sure it supports LLDP. Therefore, in order for both devices to "speak" on same language by using LLDP the AP may request enough power and the switch should provide the needed.

Go on your switch and configure : #lldp run
