Hi

Using the CW9166I-E APs with USB port enabled is 30,5 Watts. The switch shows 30 watts:

Disabling the PoE port does not reduce power consumption to 25.5W as stated in the AP datasheet:

The switch still shows a power consumption of 30W. What's going on here?!

Well APSP8 fixes CSCwj60401 but as I said above I'm not sure that bug is the right one based on the description.  But, of course, it wouldn't be the first time the description on the bug is not accurate or it fixes other related issues which are not specifically mentioned ...

Hence my recommendation to make sure the latest SMUs and APSPs are installed with 17.12.4.
