Cisco C910AXI-S Access point Setup and COnsole Access Issue

[Bo Bo]

Hi Everyone

I’m currently working on a project that involves setting up several Cisco C910AXI-S access points, and I’ve run into a few issues that I hope someone here can help me with.

Setup Details:

• The AP is connected to a Netgear PoE switch.

• The AP successfully obtains an IP address via DHCP.

• My configuration PC and the AP are on the same subnet.

• I can ping the AP’s IP successfully.

• However, I cannot access the AP’s web GUI through a browser.

• The CiscoAirProvision SSID does not show up in the Wi-Fi list on my PC.

Console Access Attempt:

• I’m trying to access the AP via the console using a USB Type-C cable.

• I’ve used PuTTY and selected the appropriate COM port.

• I tried baud rates 9600 and 115200.

• PuTTY only shows a blinking cursor, and nothing appears even after pressing Enter.

LED Status on the AP:

• The AP’s LED is alternating between green and red.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Catalyst 9130 requires a minimum of 30.0wac PoE port and I do not believe the Netgear switch can support 30.0wac.  

LED blinking green & red usually means not enough power.  

Either get a switch can can support 802.3bt (uPoE) or get a power inject from Cisco's OEM for power injector, Phihong.
