How can I tell the POE settings from an HP network Switch

How can we find out what the Power over Ethernet settings are on a switch?

Our Wireless Access Points are working very well; but, I have 1 AP that is not working at all and the vendor is asking me to look into the POE settings on the switches. I tis showing an Amber LED light for the system LED. https://fccid.io/Q9DAPIN0344345/User-Manual/Users-Manual-3573189

The thing is that all of the AP's at this location are showing an Amber light for the System power. All of the other AP's are working great; hence, I think the Switches are 802.3af POE source.

Quesiton1: How can I verify the HP Switch is an 802.3af POE source? Or that Intelligent Power Monitoring is enabled?

What model is your switch, and how many APs are connected to it? What brand/model are the APs?

One possible issue is that the access points collectively using more power than the switch is able to push out.

We have several HP Switches that are located throughout the campus. HP ProCurve switches and Aruba Switches, the model escapes me right now.

The Access Points are Aruba IAP-325 and 1 CAP-345. The user guide: https://fccid.io/Q9DAPIN0344345/User-Manual/Users-Manual-3573189

should help out.

Without knowing the switch in question, it makes it a bit harder. But here is an article on viewing POE status on HP switches: http://h22208.www2.hpe.com/eginfolib/networking/docs/switches/WB/15-18/5998-8162_wb_2920_mcg/content/ch03s05.html

it appears that the switches in question are using 802.3af(15.4W) and the Aruba requires 802.3at(45W)
