We are running a 5520 WLC with software version 8.10.185.0 and have a bunch of C9105AXW-Z (v02) AP's.
What I have found is that using the WLC GUI, when they are run up the first time and added to a FlexConnect group and the corresponding AP group, LAN1 does not provide PoE (except for a short period during the config download and before the AP reboots with its config.). I can reboot the AP as many times as I like, but the Cisco phone never powers up when the AP is running.
The AP group has POE set for LAN1 and the USB module disabled.
If I go to the AP Details and 'Advanced' and set the LAN Override, PoE is not enabled.
If I tick POE, it works as expected and the phone comes up. I can come back here and remove the LAN override and it continues to work.
I can now reboot the AP works as expected every time.
Anyone else experienced this?
The AP's are connected to a range of switches. 9200's, 9300's (including a couple of 9300-48U's and they are running IOS versions from 16.09.05 to 17.09.03) and I've tested on a 3650-48PS (ver 16.12.10), all with the same result. (My test phone is a 7800 series.)
The logs on the switch don't indicate an issue. Debugging iLPower shows normal (as far as I can tell.)
I'm not too concerned about this as the WLC is up for replacement soon, it's just something interesting and I was wondering if others had come across this or if it was specific to our environment.
