D-link Smart Pro POE switch issue

[ozmusafir]

Hi,

 

I have a D-link smart Pro POE switch with has a habit of switching mode from POE to 'Link/Act. When the switch happens all the Areohive APs LED light turn red and none of the wireless devices (for example laptop) can connect to the network or the internet.

 

Anyone can steer me into the right direction? I need to rectify this issue quickly.

 

Regards

RMA the switch..

 

The fact the aerohive AP's still have a power light means the switch is still giving them a little power, so it might be a max power issue on the switch, does it give you power measurements in the web/ssh console so you can see if it is maxed out?

We had a Netgear switch that was doing something similar and after reading the manual it turned out the switch (although it had been in for ages) had decided to become overloaded so we had to by a proper HP PoE switch instead and no more problems
