Has anyone seen that cisco behaviour ?
I've got two devices connected to each other via Ethernet port, trunked.
Core: WS-C3750X-48P 15.2(4)E10 connecting to Secondary: WS-C3750X-48P 15.2(4)E10.
And I've got alerts on the Core SW that is detected PoE.
%ILPOWER-5-IEEE_DISCONNECT: Interface gi1/0/47: PD removed
%ILPOWER-7-DETECT: Interface gi1/0/47: Power Device detected: IEEE PD
Can you guys think any reason why that would happen?
I simply disable the power inline on my trunk interface, as it was causing disconnections and I think might have affected the STP too.

- @gabsnet Post the running configuration of gi1/0/47
Use the command show cdp neighbors detail on both switches and look
at the reported info's for the trunk ports

no not really, a 3750 should not present itself as a PD, only as PSE
there are some switches that can be powered over PoE and so be a PD but the 3750 is not one of thosemaybe an external PoE(+) injector is accidentally connected in the path?
