Running 2 new switches Cisco 3850 - stackwise 480. When I plug a PoE splitter into the switches it works fine. 

Cisco IOS Software [Everest], Catalyst L3 Switch Software (CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 16.6.1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

The 3850s link to two new sets of 3 x 2960s stacked. When I plug the same PoE splitter into the 2960 switches it flaps on/off/on/off.

Cisco IOS Software, C2960X Software (C2960X-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.2(2)E7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

Have made gigabit interface 3/0/5 port static at 15400 but no luck. Gigabit interface 3/0/5 is attached to the power splitter.

The 2960x are powering various Axis cameras via PoE without problem. Plenty of PoE Budget available.

Using the debug ilpower command outputs:

Anybody any ideas as to why ok on 3850s and not 2960s? Logs suggest to me something else is causing a disconnect prior to PoE loss.

  • Could you please show the configuration of the port the power splitter is connected to (port gig3/0/5, I believe?), and for the sake of comparison, also the port configuration of the 3850 where the power splitter works?

  • event= ILP_IEEE_DET_SHORT_EV sounds to me like a shorted cable (or exceeding the power limit)... Have you tried the splitter with another cable?

Thanks for your replies. I went down the route that another interface event was causing the issue. Put the port on 10 Mbps full duplex and all is working fine.

Perhaps becasue the PoE splitter is new to us and is to do with PoE I automatically statrted looking at PoE. In reality it appears that it was auto port negotiation that was the issue.

Thansk for your help.
