3560 POE problem

[jms112080]

We are using 3560 POE switches to power Symbol AP's. All the documentation I've read says the 3560 can power up to 24 AP's. We are only able to plug in 7 to 8 AP's before some start dropping out. Is there any other possible cause for this other than lack of power?

How much power does the Symbol AP consume? Based on the 3560's data sheet, it can provide a maximum of 15.4W each for all of the 24 ports.

[jms112080]

Based on Symbol documentation 15.4W is more than enough to power the AP. Is there a switch command to show the amount of power it is recieving from the wall/ups? The "show power" command on a 3560 works but gives no output.

if you do a "show power inline" it should give you info like this

ACADB-300C-92.3#sh power inline

Available:370.0(w) Used:109.8(w) Remaining:260.2(w)
