The PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) allocates a slightly less value (difference up to ~0.5w) between the PD (Powered Device) requested power values and PSE allocated power values. To identify the issue execute the CLI command: user@device> show lldp neighbors interface <interface> user@device> show poe interface <interface>
Example of the issue:
AP requests 25.5 watts, however switch provides 25.4 only
AP requests 19.5 watts, however switch provides only 19.3w
root@switch> show poe interface mge-2/0/4
PoE interface status:
PoE interface : mge-2/0/4
Administrative status : Enabled
Operational status : ON
Operational status detail : 4P Port delivering 2P IEEE SSPD
FourPair status : Disabled
Power limit on the interface : 19.3W (L)
Priority : Low
Power consumed : 6.4W
Class of power device : 4/-
PoE Mode : 802.3bt
(L) LLDP-negotiated value on the port.
root@switch> show poe interface mge-2/0/7
PoE interface : mge-2/0/7
Operational status detail : 4P Port delivering 4P IEEE SSPD
Power limit on the interface : 25.3W (L)
Power consumed : 11.0W
Class of power device : 6/-
