We ran into an LLDP issue with Juniper EX switches and Aruba APs last summer, see PR898234. We disabled LLDP as a work around on the specific ports until we could update to the latest TAC approved firmware.

We have 3700 APs and Juniper switches. The APs require PoE+ to function with all MIMO capabilities (4 spatial streams). The WLC tells us that there is no PoE+. With Cisco switches, the WLC does mention that there is PoE+. Even with a PoE+ injector of Cisco, the WLC still mentions PoE. This was when we used 8.0 MR1. Clients could still use 4 spatial streams. We were told this was a Cisco bug and the problem would be solved in MR2 (which we are not intending to use). According to the Juniper swith, the APs use less power than you would expect: Interface Admin Oper Max Priority Power Class status status power consumption ge-6/0/15 Enabled ON 30.0W Low 4.3W 4 ge-6/0/18 Enabled ON 30.0W Low 6.7W 4 ge-6/0/19 Enabled ON 30.0W Low 6.1W 4 ge-6/0/20 Enabled ON 30.0W Low 6.3W 4 ge-6/0/21 Enabled ON 30.0W Low 6.1W 4 Jake Snyder schreef op 15/09/15 om 03:20: > The other thing you might check is to see if you have LLDP running on the > switches.
