WS-C2960S-24PS-L PoE Issue

Aman21081992

Hi All,

I have installed 2 Sophos APs (AP320X) on Cisco 2960S-24P Switches individually.

Everyday this APs went offline, i have spoken to Sophos support team, they have replaced it as well. So at the moment we have installed 2 new APs at client office. these 2 are PoE APs. 

When i see power status at switch, it shows 15.4W is max we can get on 24 port switch. Does anyone know, is it known issue for Cisco 2960S series switches? or something else?

Hi @Leo Laohoo 

PFA.

1st AP is connected to Switch1 port 2 & 2nd AP is connected to Switch 2 port 19.

Do the following: 

  1. test cable tdr interface <AP PORT>
  2. Wait for about 5 to 7 seconds for the process to complete
  3. show cable tdr interface <AP PORT>
  4. Post the complete output to #3. 

Post the output from the relevant ports only.

Do those APs reboot at the same time?

@Leo Laohoo 

No. it not rebooting.
it is just shutting them down (I think from PoE side).

So the port goes into error disable?

@Leo Laohoo not sure, because when i see port status at the time when APs are showing offline in Sophos portal, port status is showing Connected.

The next time this happens, post the following output: 

  1. sh interface status err
  2. sh power inline
  3. sh log

HI @Leo Laohoo 

FYI. These APs are offline again, where as ports are showing connected and transmitting power.

APX 320x is required for the POE+ power Switch.

Power consumption 18.9 W (max.)
Power over Ethernet
(PoE) requirements
802.3

To ensure safe operation, this product is intended to be used only with Listed,
IEEE 802.3at-compliant, Power over Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment that is
designed for connection to outdoor devices

In this there .3at complaint power required that the issue there will not be issue with Switch.

What is the difference between PoE and PoE+?
  • PoE is the 802.3af standard, and PoE+ is the 802.3at standard.
  • The main difference between the 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) standards is the maximum amount of power they provide over the Cat5 cabling. 
  • The maximum amount of power for the 802.3af (PoE) standard is 15.4 watts. 
  • The maximum for the 802.3at (PoE+) standard is 25.5 watts.

What you can do buy a power injector from the sophos.

 

Thanks,

If these are the only two APs having problems, I'd recommend getting the a TDR on the two cable runs.
